[mythtv-users] ivtv-0.4.2 and linux 2.6.16 fails to tune

[Andrew Meredith]

Sadly this is also happening on my mythbackend machine. Which is using:

  ivtv-0.4.4-107.rhfc3.at
  kernel-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3

For those who are using an external tuner, I have a workaround. Put the 
following in your /etc/rc.local file.

   echo "Pretuning PVR350 to Channel 21"
   /usr/bin/ivtv-tune -t europe-west -c 21

Obviously you will have to adjust the channel and frequency plan for 
your own situation. If you are using the mythbackend internal tuner, I 
guess the only fix is to wind the kernel back a few.

I am wondering if this is a problem with the 2.6.12 FC3 kernel because 
RH backported whatever it is that's causing the switch to ivtv 0.6
