You can find out more about the DVB-T receiver here: http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/blog/rtl-sdr-introduction
Not sure what's wrong with your program but the output_items should be set by the caller and provides a bugger into which the float outputs are written. No need to re-invent the wheel here though - just cut&paste from one of the other receivers.
