I use DVB-T and have the following settings. This dumps the whole
transport stream rather than trying to re-encode it which gives the best
quality, might be best to start there?
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS[0].group_type = 'dvb'
TV_CHANNELS = [('south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk', 'BBC 1', 'BBC ONE'),
('south.bbc2.bbc.co.uk', 'BBC 2', 'BBC TWO') .... etc.
VCR_CMD = CONF.mplayer + ' -dumpstream -dumpfile %(filename)s
"dvb://%(channel)s"'
TV_RECORD_FILE_SUFFIX = '.ts'
TV_RECORD_DIR = '/data/tv'
