I'll try that tonight. Seems like the best way to do it if gmplayer co-operates. Some Googling suggests the “-cache” option. I’ll try that tonight.

If I use mplayer instead it's fine but for radio channels that gives me no window to close when I want the noise to stop. Why is gmplayer so annoying?

Why is gmplayer so annoying?

No particular reason to delete and recreate the fifo every time, though. What about:
#!/bin/bash
TMPFILE=~/Desktop/tvfifo
mkfifo $TMPFILE
mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile “$TMPFILE” “dvb://$1″ &
sleep 5
mplayer -zoom “$TMPFILE”
kill %1
rm -f “$TMPFILE”
Might be lighter on disc usage. No particular reason to delete and recreate the fifo every time, though.
