as are used by the video4linux subsystem. This means that MythTV users
haveto setup their inputs again. In particular 'Tuner 0' is now 'Tuner 1'."
And I have tried reinstalling my mythbackend without any luck. And I get the
same problem again because yum install the ivtv 0.6.2 version because this
is the stable version on Axel Thimm rpm site
http://atrpms.net/dist/fc5/ivtv/
My suggestion for people who have this problem is to downgrade to ivtv 0.6.1.
This fixed all my problems with LiveTV channel change freeze. I am a newbee
with Linux so I don't know if you can downgrade ivtv package with yum or
smart to ivtv 0.6.1, but I compile the ivtv driver on my own. Follow the
ivtv howto http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto this was not so difficult.
You must have kernel-devel package for your kernel installed before you do
this (uname -a) (yum install kernel-devel-$KVER). I suggest you first remove
ivtv 0.6.2 with "yum remove ivtv" . After you have compiled and installed
the ivtv driver you must unload the ivtv module with "/sbin/rmmod ivtv", do
a dependency check with "/sbin/depmod -a" and load the ivtv modules again
with "/sbin/modprobe ivtv". After that you must check dmesg with "dmesg |
grep ivtv". After my ivtv 0.6.1 compile installation the ivtv dmesg informs
me about it can not find v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg. This file should by in the
firmware hotplug directory so I copied this file from the ivtv-0.6.1 source
directory to /lib/firmware (Fedora hotplug directory).
I going to post this mail to ivtv-users at ivtvdriver.org and to
*atrpms-users*<http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users>
.
I hope this ivtv issue could be resolved because it has been a pain to find
a solution for my Live TV channel channel problems
Hope this helps for someone...

<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I want to inform about my experience with the ivtv 0.6.2 release.
<div>I use Fedora Core 5 (64 bit version) which I have setup according to Jarod Wilsons howto. I use the rpm package from Axel Thim. My capture card is a one year old PVR-350 (PAL version). I use this machine as an mythtbackend and I use xbmcmythtv on my xbox as a mythfrontend.
</div></div>
<div>For one month since I upgraded the ivtv driver from ivtv 0.6.1 to 0.6.2 on my Mythtv backend pc using yum install ivtv. Everything was working ok for me before I do this. After the upgrade the playing of schedule recordings was working, but I could not change channels in Live TV in mythfrontend or in xbmcmyth. Everything was freezing and I must shutdown the mythtbackend pc. When this happens the mythfrontend logs "select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding" . The ivtv dmesg don't have any errors in it. Every module loads ok before this happens.
<br> </div>
<div>I know this is a problem with the ivtv 0.6.2 driver because other people have this problem as I can read from ivtv mailinglists. <a href="http://ivtvdriver.org/pipermail/ivtv-users/2006-May/002642.html">http://ivtvdriver.org/pipermail/ivtv-users/2006-May/002642.html
</a> . I have tried the newest 0.6.2 cvs (010606), ivtv 0.7 rpm package, using the correct firmware (<a href="http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware">http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware</a>), tried to upgrade to the mythtv
0.19.1 (bugfix release) without luck. </div>
<div>And I have changed the tuner input from tuner 0 to tuner 1 in mythtv-setup. From ivtv 0.6.2 readme.txt </div>
<div>"NOTE 3: The names of the inputs have changed to correspond with the names as are used by the video4linux subsystem. This means that MythTV users haveto setup their inputs again. In particular 'Tuner 0' is now 'Tuner 1'."
