Look up the "IVTV Xine TV" in the local_conf; it's much better than Mplayer.

Here is my relavent pat of local_conf:

# ======================================================================
# IVTV Xine TV settings:
# ======================================================================

# -- plugin configuration --

plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_xine_tv')

# Note: TV_IVTV_OPTIONS must be configured properly
# Note: FREQUENCY_TABLE must be configured properly
# Note: XINE_COMMAND must be configured properly
# Note: XINE_ARGS_DEF must be configured properly

# -- TV/XINE configuration --

# Video output device for TV. For Hauppage PVR x50,
# use "xxmc" if you have hardware acceleration enabled.
# Otherwise, see XINE_VO_DEV
XINE_TV_VO_DEV = "xxmc"

# Audio output device to use for TV. See XINE_AO_DEV.
XINE_TV_AO_DEV = "alsa"

# This specifies the path and filemask that
# xine uses for timeshifting. File can get
# quite big (several gigabytes)
XINE_TV_TIMESHIFT_FILEMASK = "/tmp/xine-buf-"

#
# Settings for ivtv based cards such as the WinTV PVR-250/350.
#
# XXX TODO: Add descriptions and valid settings for each option.
# bitrate in bps
# stream type
# Options are: 0 (mpeg2_ps), 1 (mpeg2_ts), 2 (mpeg1), 3 (mpeg2_pes_av),
#              5 (mpeg2_pes_v), 7 (mpeg2_pes_a), 10 (dvd)

TV_IVTV_OPTIONS = {
    'input'         : 4,
    'resolution'    : '720x480',
    'aspect'        : 1,
    'audio_bitmask' : 233,
    'bframes'       : 2,
    'bitrate_mode'  : 0,
    'bitrate'       : 3000000,
    'bitrate_peak'  : 4000000,
    'dnr_mode'      : 0,
    'dnr_spatial'   : 0,
    'dnr_temporal'  : 0,
    'dnr_type'      : 0,
    'framerate'     : 0,
    'framespergop'  : 15,
    'gop_closure'   : 1,
    'pulldown'      : 0,
    'stream_type'   : 0,
}
