I'm using a pvr250, so no tv-out but also had problems when recording. Freevo sets the wrong format.
it is the setfmt and setstd function in src/tv/v4l2.py that causes the problem. It always sets to ntsc even if you want pal. I didn't do much debugging. I commented the lines (set std line 236 and setfmt line 253). make sure that you set the format (720x576) and std (pal) when you load the ivtv modules and you should have no problem. I attached the file I changed, I hope this is the only file I changed. I did this more than a year ago and don't remeber it to well.
