For DVB-T ( I have a USB Nova T Stick from hauppauge) I have the
following VCR command:
VCR_CMD = CONF.mplayer + ' -dumpstream -dumpfile %(filename)s
"dvb://%(channel)s"'
TV_RECORDFILE_SUFFIX = '.ts'
It just uses mplayer to dump the stream straight to disk. This works
very well and takes only a tiny amount of CPU (something like 5%)
