[mythtv-users] Mythtv lockup problem when changing channells

[ray cielencki]

do you get any errors when this happens if you start mythfrontend 
from a terminal window? occasionally i see this issue and it usually 
says something like error reading from /dev/video0. when this 
happens, i unload/reload the ivtv mod.

(as root)
# /sbin/rmmod ivtv
# /sbin/modprobe ivtv

  backend errors are reported in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log (if 
you're starting it as a service).

hth,
ray
