Get TV type test pattern

Expected results:

Which distribution are you using? I guess Ubuntu Intrepid...
If so you should be able to get cheese working properly upgrading kernel and libv4l from intrepid-proposed repository.
If you are using another distribution there is some good chance that you could fix it upgrading libv4l and uvcvideo using your distribution package manager.
Marking as duplicate, reopen if the proposed solution does not work.
