[mythtv-users] TVlive freezes after 2 seconds

[Steve Naylor]

This happens to me on every reboot. To fix it, I have to stop mythbackend, 
depmod -a and modprobe ivtv.

I tried to put this in rc.local like this:

/sbin/rmmod ivtv
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ivtv
service mythbackend restart

but it doesn't work. Could it be that mythbackend is running at this point? 
I don't know when in the boot sequence services start (before or after 
rc.local).

Let me know if you get it working on a fresh reboot.
