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
