Since the problem happens with Tvtime as well as Myth, it probably is not a 
problem with Myth. That doesn't mean you can't get help here. It does mean 
that you'll need to tell us about the non-Myth pieces of your setup ... 
like what vidcap card you, how the system is *supposed* to change channels 
(the tuner on the vidcap card or a connection to an digital-cable or 
satellite box; if the second, via LIRC or serial cable?), whether it used 
to work right, what you changed right around the time it stopped working 
... you get the idea.

Assuming you have a vidcap card that works with xawtv ... does it change 
channels properly? Or can you change the channel from the command line 
using  v4lctl (or a command-line app such as vcr)?
