Mplayer should be fine.

Well your mencoder command for recording must be correct, using
/dev/dsp1 (snd-bt87x) for recording.  Your mplayer command for watching
TV must be wrong. That should be setup to use /dev/dsp1 for capturing
and /dev/dsp0 for playing the sound.

You should probably set DEBUG=1 in your local_conf.py and check the
mplayer command in your logs.  In the meantime I will peek at some code
to remember what values can be set where.

If you're using snd-bt87x then remove the patch cable.  The whole idea
is that you don't need it any more.  No patch cable, capture audio
directly from the tv tuner.
