DVB cards don't encode anything -- programmes are broadcast already
MPEG-2 encoded.

Pretty much, yes. You have to tune the device first, and then you
can read MPEG-2 streams from it. You still have to pick out the
right PIDs, though.
I looked at trying to get this working with Freevo, but Python isn't
my thing and I ran out of time. What I have right now is a wrapper
around dvbstream which tunes the card, grabs the right PIDs, and saves
the resulting MPEG-2 PS to disk. It's called by WebVCR+ to do
timed recording.
But there's no real reason it couldn't work directly with Freevo,
though AFAIK TVTime is supposed to support DVB-T now so there may
not be much to do for live viewing at least.
