i think it expects input=0 instead of input=television, at least that's
how it worked for me, try it!

you could have figured it out from it's output you've included in your
mail:

" Inputs: 3
  0: Television: tuner audio tv camera  (tuner:1, norm:0)
  1: Composite1: audio camera  (tuner:0, norm:0)
  2: S-Video: audio camera  (tuner:0, norm:0)"

so it's pretty obvious, that one should try providing mplayer (and
mencoder) 0 as input parameter. And it will work!

in this rare case, documentation seems to be wrong :)
