Well, just the dd command didn't work, probably because the resolution was 
still set at what my last recording was (480x480).  However, I changed my 
LiveTV profile to 720x480, played some tv for a few seconds, and then tried 
again with only mplayer -vo xv and it worked beautifully.  I'll keep it as is 
for now, since 720x480 is just fine for LiveTV at the high bitrate I have set 
anyway.  Thanks so much for your help.  The video looks awesome!  Very smooth 
even on my Celeron 1.3Ghz.

Thanks,

~Lou
