I think tvscan is a part of xawtv so it doesn't support ivtv either. But the next version of xawtv, xawtv 4 and its tvscan, supports ivtv! The bad news is that is hasn't been an official release yet, so you have to compile it yourself. I don't use ubuntu myself, but there is a thread in the ubunto forums that describes how to compile xawtv http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=170884 . The thread also contains a deb package if you want to try that. Actually, I suggest that you try to get xawtv4 to work, and use this software instead of xine or mplayer.
