I have had a similar problem for recording a while ago. Turned out to be a problem with channel listings and frequency.
You find more about my <cough> solution in this link http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/AnalogTvConfig section 6 BTW I don't use IVTV, so I leave it up to you to see if it has some value for you.
