So what would those kernel patches be? Have they been posted anywhere?

Coincidentally, I just installed a Hauppauge TV card recently, and had
the same problem (capturing just a blue screen) that was discussed here.
Now after setting the input to DEV1 (from DEV0) it works, but only up to
quarter resolution (384x288). 

With any size larger than that, ffmpeg never records anything - the
output file just contains the header. It also does not echo any status
lines, nor does it react to the 'q' quit key at any resolution larger
than 384x288, I have to ^c out.  Would that be the result of improper
sync generation as you indicated?

Note that fxtv can display full resolution PAL TV without problem, and
can even capture that, unencoded, to disk.  It just gets a little bit
bulky :-)
