VLC media player (originally VideoLAN Client, and often referred too simply as VLC) is the best known software from the VideoLAN project. VLC supports DVB and some analog devices in Linux.
Example with an Analog capture device
To record to x264 with VLC, use something like this:
vlc v4l:/dev/video0:norm=ntsc:frequency=77250:size=640x480:channel=5:\
adev=/dev/dsp1:samplerate=32000:audio=0:stop-time=60 \
--sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,fps=29.97,acodec=mp3}\
:std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=output.mpg}" aspect-ratio "4:3" -I dummy
Note that vlc uses alsactl to find sound devices, so oss devices may not work.
