At this point, I'm not really sure why it works but here is the debug I used
to solve the problem.

I basically just set the TV_IVTV options to the first set above and it
started working. I got those options by looking at the "default" options
that were set when I modprobed ivtv. I originally thought it might be the
"aspect" but I changed that to 2 and it still worked, I think it might be
the b-frames but I have to futhur test that. But all in all, it's working
again.
Here is my current TV_IVTV options for kernel 2.6.18.8 with ivtv driver
0.10.1
TV_IVTV_OPTIONS = {
'input' : 4,
'resolution' : '720x480',
'aspect' : 1,
'audio_bitmask' : 233,
'bframes' : 2,
'bitrate_mode' : 0,
'bitrate' : 6000000,
'bitrate_peak' : 8000000,
'dnr_mode' : 0,
'dnr_spatial' : 0,
'dnr_temporal' : 0,
'dnr_type' : 0,
'framerate' : 0,
'framespergop' : 15,
'gop_closure' : 1,
'pulldown' : 0,
'stream_type' : 0,
}

Hmm, what do you mean by shaky?
If we set the DEBUG level to 3 or more freevo will report the ivtv and
v4l ioctls that are being sent.
I've noticed that a PVR-350 recordings are not smooth but the PVR-500
are smooth but the quality is poorer than the 350.
My first guess is that your analysis is correct and it may be a setting
that is either incorrect or causes the driver to misbehave.
