So MythTV doesn't allow to choose the video format?
A solution might be to suppress the planar formats on hybrid and duo cards. The mechanism normally is that the application asks the driver which formats
it supports (VIDIOC_G_FMT). We could reduce the list either
- with an insmod option
- or simply by the fact that the card supports MPEG (DVB) streaming.
But this would reduce the capabilities of the card and i don't know whether there are cases where only planar formats work, either due to the application
or due to the overlay mechanism.

Can anybody comment on this?

I think that removing some sample formats tout-court is a bad idea, because
resampling from yuy2 to yv12 for compressing to mpeg* is very likely to reduce quality and introduce slowdowns; if it were possible to remove planar formats
only when a dvb capture is running the situation would be more reasonable;
anyway, training the user about what he can and should do is is best option IMO.
