Yup, it's set to 3. Made sure to put that in there each time I redid
the tuner card, channels, sources, etc. I deleted all of them many
times (since that's what the FAQ says to do).

That thread describes the exact problem I have with my PVR-350 too. I
came up with the same work around of using a startup script and
running ivtv-tune to workaround the issue...

Could be a bug in IVTV (or Mythtv) that's specific to PVR-350's. Seams
the common thing between my setup and the thread you mentioned.

Also, in poking around, looking at dmesg I found this at the very end
(don't think this is relevant, just mentioning incase it's helpful):

I don't know what cx8800 or bttv is, lirc stuff for different
chipsets? I just have a PVR-350, no other cards... Don't know where
that stuff came from, part of the lirc rpm I guess. Could this be
causing mythtv not to be able to set my tuner channel to 3?

Let me know if there's anything I can test, would be glad to help any
way I can...
