[mythtv-users] Can't watch LiveTV until program recorded

Hello!

I have this problem that LiveTV just won't work. It plays for one second
and then after 10-20 seconds the main menu in mythfrontend will appear
again.

The strange thing is that if I record a program for 1 minute (as an
example) and then try LiveTV again, everything just works as expected...

I have a PVR-350 and are running Linux kernel 2.6.10 that comes with
Ubuntu 5.04.
I have tried both ivtv 0.3.2u and 0.3.3f with the same result.

I run MythTV 0.18

What does MythTV do different when watching Live TV compared to when
recording a program?
