Try stopping and restarting your backend (without a reboot) and try out your
Live TV.  After moving to the 2.6 kernel the other day my ivtv drivers
weren't getting loaded on boot - only once the backend was already up.  So
the tuners weren't getting configured right.  I couldn't tune anything -
though I was getting static, not a blank screen.  If I stopped and restarted
the backend, tuning would work.  The fix for me was to load ivtv in
/etc/modules

HTH.
