This produced exactly the same poor results as what I'd set originally.

Here's my 'freevo vg' output using the svn vg.py you sent me:
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup( # normal device, group 0
desc='BT878 video (Hauppauge (bt878))',
group_type='normal',
vdev='/dev/video0',
vvbi='/dev/vbi0',
adev=None,
input_type='Television',
input_num=0,
tuner_norm='PAL',
tuner_chanlist='FixMe',
record_group=None
),
]
Looks like it's erroneously using tuner_norm='PAL' (instead of
'NTSC') and it doesn't know what tuner_chanlist should be. By the
way, the Freevo 1.8.3 version of vg.py listed all the available
tv_norm standards:
tuner_norm='SECAM-DK,SECAM-L,NTSC-M,NTSC-M-KR,PAL,SECAM-G,PAL-M,SECAM-H,SECAM,SECAM-B,PAL-DK,SECAM-Lc,PAL-I,PAL-BG,NTSC-M-JP,PAL-60,PAL-N,NTSC,PAL-H,PAL-Nc',
but tuner_chanlist also said 'FixMe'.
