I'm not so sure I want mplayer for watching tv. A tv stream may change From 4:3 to 16:9. Mplayer does not see that, you can't change the filter chain while mplayer is running. So IMHO xine (or maybe vlc/gstreamer) is the better choice. I have a recording starting with 4:3 ads and after that the 16:9 movie starts. It look very bad in mplayer.
