There are a few ways to get image thumbnails.
What I suspect DTV is doing is using the src attribute of the <img>
tag if it is enclosed within the link to the media file.

So, if you link to your media enclosure file in your blog entries like
this, then you should probably get a thumbnail preview image in DTV:

<a href="http://my/video.mov";><img src="http://my/image.jpg"; /></a>

This is roughly analogous to the Microformat spec i've been proposing,
although that would include more "semantic" things to more fully
exploit the attributes available in HTML.
