In my case this does not seem to be a group/permission issue. I created
a video group, added myself and root to it, and chown'd the whole
/dev/dvb tree to root:video.
The workaround I have been using is downgrade to Interpid version of
mplayer, which works fine.

Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
System version: Ubuntu 9.04 (amd64)
mplayer version: 2:1.0-rc2-0ubuntu19
After Jaunty upgrade mplayer can no longer tune in to DVB device cx88-dvb. It
was working great in Intrepid.
Example: mplayer dvb://discovery (this is in my channels.conf)
