The fact that "/dev/video0 > out.mpg" does also fail speaks against it, BUT...

If this is the same as the problem I have with my PVR150 and PVR500:

Go to "Setup/General/Audio" and select "Independent muting of left and right 
audio channels".

Then go to a recording and cycle through the mute settings. If you are lucky, 
there will be stereo somewhere in there.
