Here is what I am using for a nova-t 500 (on freevo 1.8.1):
#VideoGroup[0]
VideoGroup(
group_type = 'dvb',
desc='DVB viewing',
vdev='0',
record_group=1),
#VideoGroup[1]
VideoGroup(
group_type = 'dvb',
desc='DVB recording',
vdev='1',
record_group=1),
It works fine for watching DVB, I haven't tried recording. So it must
be "group_type" which is being used to determine the mplayer parameters
(but you have that set too). Only visible difference from your setup seems
to be the vdev setting.
