Do this test first using mplayer:

mplayer -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo pal:format=hm12 /dev/video32

Does this show the same problem with the image? If so, then I'd say it's 
unlikely to be a firmware problem. You can get older firmwares here: 
http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware, but you'll have to change the 
IVTV_FW_ENC_SIZE define in ivtv-firmware.c to '(256*1024)' otherwise 
the older firmware won't load.

Can you also show me the output of 'v4l2-ctl --log-status'? Preferably 
while capturing.

Thanks,

        Hans
