[mythtv-users] Video lasts for only 1 second on live TV

[Phil Strong]

So just as a follow up you did restart the mythbackend service after the
backend came up. The service not the machine.

For I had to add a sleep command after loading ivtv before I started the
backend. Obviously a hack but a good one :)
