You could try this. Aspect ratio may need to be something else, same goes
for frame rate.

mencoder tv://$channel_number -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=6000:vqmin=1:k
eyint=15:vstrict=0:aspect=4/3 -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2:abitrate=256
-of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf:muxrate=36000 -o OUT_PATH/NAME.
