IVTV

IVTV is software for the Hauppauge Capture cards (PVR-150/250/350/500). You can download the software from here.

Here are some of the commands I use.
/usr/bin/v4l2-ctl --all /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-sliced-vbi=cc -c stream_vbi_format=1 /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -s ntsc /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -v width=720,height=480 /usr/bin/v412-ctl
 * To Display ALL information available about the cards.
 * To enable closed captioning.
 * Default capture settings.
 * '''For a list of switches to be used with v412-ctl try
