Comment (by Artem Astafyev):

 Danielk,

 Below are results of my tests:
 1. line 454
 ok = SetV4L2DeviceOptions(chanfd);" to "(void)
 SetV4L2DeviceOptions(chanfd);

 All works fine. The only little inconvinience in this case is that I see
 garbage and noise between channel switches.

 2. line 437
 "requires_special_pause = true;"
 Channel switching works, but I have distorted picture after switching. It
 looks like some issue in mpeg encoder pause code.
 Distorted picture looks like b/w picture with vertical RGB lines. Also
 there is no sound, only noise.
 Below is usecase:
 1. Default channel 1.
 2. Start LiveTV. Tuning to default channel 1. Picture and sound fine.
 3. Switch to channel 2. Tuning fine, but picture distorted, noise.
 4. Channel 2 become default.
 5. Stop LiveTV. Start LiveTV. Tuning to default channel 2. Picture and
 sound fine.
 6. Switch to channel 1. Tuning fine, but picture distorted, noise.
 7. Swicth any channel. Tuning fine, but picture distorted, noise.
 So I can get normal picture and sound only after LiveTV restart.
