If you downgraded are you sure thsi doesn't have to do with the ivtv
tuners changing name (can't remember at which release this happened, but
remember something about "tuner0" being renamed "tuner". You will
obviously have to reverse this (run mythtv-setup again and
remove/reinstall your cards) if you did mythtv-setup with the newer ivtv
version. When using >=0.4.1 did you follow the instructions of the ivtv
website, putting the firmware in /lib/firmware and using the new naming
convention for your symlinks?
