mythtv? seriously folks! I am pretty sure you need to use mencoder to record tv (mencoder is the transcoding companion to mplayer) Encode from a tuner (specify a format with -vf format): mencoder -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480 tv:// -o tv.avi -ovc raw is what the mplayer/mencoder man page suggests plus whatever other paramaters you needed from your mplayer line, I would suggest the following, combinig your mplayer line with the above: mencoder -tv input=2:driver=v4l:width=640:height=480 tv:// -o tv.avi -ovc raw you won't be watching at the same time, but you can run simultaneously mplayer tv.avi if you cpu can hack encoding and decoding at the same time.
