Are you really sure about that, if it takes 1-2 sec for the first frame,
then it would take 1-2 sec for the next frame, which would require a quite
big cache to not loose frames.
If you do turn on your telly select the same channel on both the PVR and
telly, be prepared to press return for "cat /dev/vidoe0 > /tmp/test.mpg",
wait for a commercial break or something and hit the reutnr as fast as you
can, let it run for a while and then ctrl-c at some special event.
If there is really a delay in the card, this would cause you have a
begining that starts before the time you hit return and is missing the
sceen in the end where you made the ctrl-c. At least I haven't managed
with this, when playing up on the monitor it's the player to be blamed.
