This page asks for scan output to enter into channels.conf

But this looks different from my scan output:

ORF1:338000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6900000:FEC_AUTO:QAM_256:2112:2113+2114:5007

(It wouldn't surprise me if you could just copy INVERSION_AUTO:6900000:FEC_AUTO
into your line, the values should always be correct.)

When you have a correct channels.conf file, you just type:
mplayer dvb://ORF1
