I get a similar effect at the top of my picture.  I assume this is when 
watching Live TV (or a recording)?  I believe you are seeing the VBI data.  
Did you recently change the versions of the IVTV driver?  I didn't see this 
from version 0.1.9 but when I went to 0.2.0 it appears to be in every 
subsequent version.  You could try to get rid of it using the OverScan 
setting of the nVidia driver.  HTH!
