For those who don't mind experimenting: try to use ivtv-trunk with the
latest from v4l-dvb. Especially interesting are the v4l2-ctl and qv4l2
utlity programs in v4l-dvb/test. The first will eventually replace
ivtvctl, the second is a Qt GUI to set user and mpeg controls on the
fly. Great for experimentation. It's intended to be expanded eventually
to include things like resolution, inputs/outputs and TV standards.
It's bleeding edge, so don't use in a production environment and don't
expect any support! :-) Still, if something clearly fails I'd like to
know about it.
Enjoy,
Hans
