The line changes the tuner input on the card which *magically* resets something.
 I have a change channel script driving my satellite receiver so I added a call
to another script which does this.  I'm using the RCA.pl script to change
channels, right after the call to change channels, but before the script exits,
I added:

system "/usr/bin/reset250.sh"

which is the script that contains:

/usr/bin/test_ioctl -p 0
/usr/bin/test_ioctl -p 6

The first line sets the input to the 250 tuner and the second line sets the
input back to the 250 S-Video (which I normally use).  Make sure that your
permissions are correct, etc.
