I think it's a bit premature to call this a hardware failure as it seems
the OP has never gotten it working. Therefore, I'd put in a vote for
configuration error. Of course, without the right information:
tac /var/log/messages |
sed -n '/=\ \ END INIT IVTV\ \ =/,/= START INIT IVTV =/p;
/= START INIT IVTV =/q' |
tac
I can't tell what that configuration error is...
