It's under Advanced Options on mine. I can't remember if it's labeled "input" or "channel" but possible values for my card are 0 (tuner), 1 (s-video), 2 (composite). I'll check the details when I get home today.
This is under Ubuntu 9.10 running VLC 1.03 with a Hauppauge PVR-250.

Use v4l2-ctl
in the ivtv-utils
package.
Display inputs:
v4l2-ctl -n
Query currently selected input:
v4l2-ctl -I
Select input $N:
v4l2-ctl -i $N
