I have tried both the remote and the keyboard, same result.  In the EPG, 
when I choose a channel and hit "M" it goes back to full screen TV 
display, but never changes the channel.  If I type in the channel and hit 
enter, the channel number displays, then disappears, without changing the 
channel.  Hitting the Up and Down arrows make the screen jump for a 
second, but then it goes right back to displaying the same channel.

I can schedule shows and it records them just fine, it will change the 
channel to any show it needs to record, it just seems to be manual channel 
changes.

I have repopulated the guide data, and do so every night, but that does 
not seem to help.  The guide is accurate, and when I tell it to record a 
program it has no problem recording it.

I haven't updated ivtv since I got the pvr250 working.  I'm using the 
Philips tuner, and I had no problems changing the channel until I updated 
the myth cvs.  This problem started about two weeks ago.

Here's all the extra info I can think of:

Hardware:
Athlon XP 1800+
KT400 Based Motherboard
PVR250 card
SBLive Sound Card
Nvidia GeForce 4 MX440 video card
512MB of RAM
1 80 GB hard drive
1 40 GB hard drive
both running under LVM as one device.
Kernel version 2.4.20
RedHat 8.0
