This is great! I had the same problem using ivtv 0.3.5w and ivtvdev 10.1 and setting the LiveTV resolution to 720x480 fixed it. The 'dd' trick didn't work. I can now watch movies of various formats and sizes with good clarity and color depending on the quality of the file. I'm in NTSC land.
Thanks Chris K and John.
