I humored myself and switched out the power cord, and no luck.  The 
problem still happens.  This was working on Mythbuntu 8.10, so why 
wouldn't it work on 9.04?  Everything I read says to check "Open DVB on 
demand" on the capture card settings, but that has no effect in this case.

My Myth version is 19961.  Could something be broke in this area in 
9.04?  Would upgrading to the weekly builds do anything?  Could there be 
an issue with the ivtv version (and how do I find that)?

Thanks,
Harry
