It reads to me like you are describing interlacing. When I first fired up a recording with my pchdtv 3000 interlacing stuck out like a sore thumb. You could try passing parameters to your playback software to deinterlace, OR you can deinterlace during recording (as I read your post, it seems that you aren't using HDTV, correct me if I'm wrong). The recording profiles is where this option is given, adjust the one you use (default probably) accordingly. Related but OT: If you are trying to capture (not the right word, but...) HDTV using your card, I am not sure what you mean by DVB must be for digital cable, and V4L for analog. DVB works for both OTA and QAM (digital cable) support. Good Luck!
