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.
