hmm, if you use gecko based browsers, camserve would even do a better
job for you. camserv grabs the v4l device and generates a jpeg-stream
it provides via its own http server.
to change the "tv" url to the camserv url would be easy.

i use the camserv rpm for redhat 7.x without big trouble,
the dvb specific part from my camserv.cfg is:
[video_v4l_dvb]
path            /usr/local/lib/camserv/libvideo_v4l.so.0
device_path     /dev/video
port            0
color           30000
hue             30000
contrast        30000
brightness      30000
whiteness       30000
autobright      0
[...]
[video] 
video_section           video_v4l_dvb 
width                   384 
height                  288 
maxfps                  2 
memhack                 1


just an idea...

Regards Onno
