Just to add some closure to this thread and hopefully help someone
else, I found the solution to my problem. Thanks to a suggestion on
the PVR Guide forum, I was able to get
Live TV and recording working.  As phibsboro says in this thread:

http://pvrguide.no-ip.com/bbs/index.php?showtopic=4600&st=25

it was the size of the capture setting. I had maxed out the capture to
768x576. When I set it to 720x576, it worked just fine. It seems so
simple, but it worked. So users in PAL land beware. Make sure you set
the capture size correctly.
