I think the first step is to confirm that your TV tuner is configured properly (modprobe options, etc.). Try using xawtv or tvtime standalone and see if you can view the channels. The other thing to check is your TV channels info configuration. If you're using xmltv, you'll have to look in the Wiki on how to configure it, I don't use it. Otherwise, in local_config.py, there's a TV_CHANNELS section which needs to be defined. Lastly, check in the log files /var/log/freevo, or the console, what is the exact command passed by freevo to the player. Try running that command outside of freevo and see if it works ok.
