First up have you using dvbtune for which you need to know the LO of your
LNB.

You need to run dvbtune to lock onto the ITV transponder

dvbtune -c <CARD>  -f <FREQUENCY> -s <SR> -p <POL> -m

Take a look at http://www.lyngsat.com/28east.html for transponder details

EG if your LNB LO is 10750 then for transponder 10758000 you need

dvbtune -c 0 -f 8000 -s 22000 -p v -m

Once you get a lock you can run dvbsnoop to grab the data

dvbsnoop -adapter 0 -nph -n 6 0x10 > freesat.nit

dvbsnoop -adapter 0 -nph -n 6 0x11 > freesat.sdt

Hope this makes sense.
