I have the same problem, and I just setup a script which runs this
command every second. This seems somewhat evil, but it works fine.
Now, if I could only figure out how to fix that buzzing on the audio
channels on my PVR-250. Ironically, my ATI TV Wonder VE has much
better output.

Here is the script I use:

[root at localhost bin]# cat audiofix.sh
#!/bin/tcsh
while (1)
/usr/lib/ivtv/test_ioctl -v input=7,output=1 > /dev/null
sleep 1;
end;
