Thanks a lot Nick, that helped a lot!

A "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg" already works.  OK, it's complete
rubbish but I guess that's because I haven't tuned any channel
frequencies for Belgium yet.

To summarize what helped me get this far on the latest KnopMyth:
 - install IVTV 0.4.2
 - follow firmware wiki page
 - remove everything from /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv and replace it by
the lines from Nick (see above).

Hope the tuning works now...

Cheers,
Pieter
