For the 350 you don't use a channel change program. You just set up the
frequencies properly in the channel setup.

You should take this to the ivtv-dev list.
Best starting point would be to post the (appropriate) output in your
messages file and the X log file and probably the X config file. From there
we can make a start to work out what is wrong.

What version of the ivtvdev driver are you using? I would recommend the 0.8
version which I posted to ivtv-dev mailing list a week or 2 ago. It will
make debugging this easier.
