I didn't realise you were analogue. I've been talking digital (dvb).
I have no experience with analogue. Off the top of my head I'd try using cat only because I have used it with digital devices.
You can cat any file and remember devices are files in unix/linux. If you do "cat /device/mouse > mouse.txt" you will get the output of /dev/mouse provided you have permission as in below:
Code:
rick@rick:~$ cat /dev/mouse
cat: /dev/mouse: Permission denied
rick@rick:~$ su
Password:
root@rick:/home/rick# cat /dev/mouse

So if you know what your analogue TV device is you can use cat to save it to disk. I can do this be locking on to a digital channel with tzap then cat'ing the device to a file like this:
Code:
bash-3.1$ tzap -c /etc/channels.conf -r "ABC2"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/etc/channels.conf'
tuning to 226500000 Hz
video pid 0x0905, audio pid 0x0906
status 00 | signal 00ff | snr 8000 | ber 00003fff | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal 002c | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
and this:

bash-3.1$ cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > /videos/sunday-07-04-29.ts

I don't know if you have anything like tzap (which is for dvb-t) to use with an analogue card. Likewise, I don't know whether or not you can do something similar and/or whether you can watch it while saving it which would mean two applications accessing the same device at the same time but maybe this will give you some ideas.
