Well, I upgraded to 2.6.19.2 again.  The problem still exists:
DVBRec(0) Warning: Recording will not commence until a PMT is set.

I'm submitting a bug report for my ivtv issue, but after that's done, I'll be moving back
to 2.6.18 until 2.6.20 comes out.  Hopefully that will work correctly.  I'll upgrade my
SVN which is week old to current to see if that fixes the problem as well.
