You need to add dvbstreamer (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvbstreamer/) to 
Freevo as a plugin and then use it to scan for the channels in your area. The 
command in terminal is "setupdvbstreamer -A channels.conf". Next run this 
commmand, "dvbctrl lsservices -- -id| grep -v  ^ffff.ffff.". This will capture 
the channels available. Next, copy and paste your channel list to your 
local_conf.py.Here's my list as an example of what it should look like.

TV_CHANNELS = [('CBS2 CH','CBS2-HD','00cf.03e7.0001'),
               ('NBC5-DT','NBC5-HD','0233.03e9.0005'),
               ('WLS-DT','WLS-DT-7.1','02bd.03eb.0001'),
               ('Livwell','Livwell-7.2','02bd.03eb.0002'),
               ('WLS-SD','WLS-SD-7.3','02bd.03eb.0003'),
               ('WGN-DT','WGN-DT-9.1','01f7.03ed.0003'),
               ('LATV','LATV-9.2','01f7.03ed.0004'),
               ('WTTW-HD','WTTW-HD-11.1','029f.03ef.0003'),
               ('WTTW-DT','WTTW-DT-11.2','029f.03ef.0004'),
               ('WYCC HD','WYCC HD-20.1','0203.03f1.0001'),
               ('WCIU-HD','WCIU-HD-26.1','0227.03f3.0003'),
               ('MeTV','MeTV-26.2','0227.03f3.0004'),
               ('WFLD DT','WFLD DT-32.1','023f.03f5.0003'),
               ('WPWR-DT','WPWR-DT-50.1','02b7.0459.0003')
 ]
AUDIO_DEVICE ='hw.0,0'
plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.remove('tv.generic_record')
plugin_record = plugin.activate('tv.dvbstreamer.record')
plugin.activate('tv.dvbstreamer.live_pause')
LIVE_PAUSE_BUFFER_SIZE=(6.25, 30 * 60)
LIVE_PAUSE_BUFFER_PATH='/home/tvphil/freevo/live.buf'
TV_RECORDFILE_SUFFIX='.ts'
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
     VideoGroup(vdev='0',
                group_type='dvb',
                desc='Watching Video Group',
                record_group=0)
]

Hope this helps.
