Tyson,

There looks to be some useful information here:

http://www.cs.duke.edu/~reynolds/pvr150/

It's not completely straightforward and it looks a bit on the old side,
but the information is mostly there..

Apparently at ivtvdriver.org there's a command to tune your card to 
a channel called ivtv-tune.  There's another called ivtvctl.  They look
useful

Also apparently you just need to know which /dev device and pull the
video off of it like this:

cat /dev/video0 > /path/to/file.mpg

It's my understanding that the output of ivtv driver is an mpeg
stream.
