Hi

I just managed to get ivtv to work under Debian testing with my Hauppauge 
PVR 250.

That is, I can cat the TV program to a MPEG file, I can tune to another 
station and I can watch that MPEG with mplayer.

There are two things which don't work as well as I would like:

1) The MPEG is really big. I get about 50 MB per minute.

With Hauppauge's windows TV application I can select several quality 
profiles when recording, so I get smaller MPEGs.

Can I do that with ivtv/v4l2-ctl somehow? Or do I have to postprocess the 
MPEG with sme toll (which one?).

2) I feel the image quality is worse than under windows. I'm not sure, but 
I think every second line might be black. Is that interlacing? How do I 
switch that off, if it's possible?

Oh, and a 3):
Is there a TV application under Linux that can cope with ivtv? tvtime 
doesn't work, KWinTV neither, AFAIK.

Thanks
Thomas
