I've been trying to get analogTV working with a PVR-150, but I get no picture, can't record and the ffmpeg fails.
As per the player-analogtv.c config in I ran the ffmpeg syntax myself: ffmpeg -f mpeg1video -s 352x288 -ad /dev/dsp:14 -ar 44.1 -vd /dev/video0 -ac 1 -b 2000 -ab 80 -y -re -title analogTV -author analogTV -copyright GPL -comment analogTV -aspect 4:3 -tvstd NTSC /tmp/.analogtv.avi
and it fails as ffmpeg can't find the video grab device /dev/video0
but if I change it to: ... -i /dev/video0 ...
the encoding starts ok, but I still don't see a picture.
On the std-out I can see the ffmpeg starting (with the '-i /dev/video0' option) when I change channel, but no picture and only records an empty file.
Any ideas??

Haven't ever tried vdr-analogtv with my PVR-250, but pvrinput http://home.arcor.de/andreas.regel/files/pvrinput/ (which Andreas Regel developed inspired from analogtv) is for ivtv cards only, the encoding is done in hardware, no ffmpeg involved. It just worked for me with ivtv-0.4.x, ivtv-0.6.2 and now even ivtv-0.8 (current subversion from www.ivtvdriver.org, which may never get released if it gets included in v4l-dvb). Btw, for ivtv-0.8 you *have* to go with v4l-dvb from the HG repository and "make ivtv" will fetch the ivtv drivers.

Fantastic!! I was beginning to think I was the only analog user!
It compiles ok, seems to record a stream and no errors turn up via skincurses - just remains to see if the picture's ok (when I get home)
