[mythtv-users] pvr150 and channel changes not working on live TV

I realize that live tv is something that the devs are not that 
interested in and I am not either, however, my wife still likes to flip 
mindlessly between channels most nights and she only knows the analog 
channels we are still getting from our cable provider.  I have tried to 
set up recordings for her to watch of the shows that she mindlessly 
flips between but that has not worked.

I am running Fedora 15 and am able to set up my pvr150 fine and when I 
initially select the pvr150 the video displays fine and the sound is 
fine.  When I try to change channels I get about 30 seconds of the 
screen freezing and then the frontend comes back with video frame 
buffering failed too many times.  This is a card that has worked 
flawlessly for me in the past and according to the wiki's I have been 
reading the ivtv cards like the pvr150 should just work now with nothing 
special needing to be done.

Can anyone please help me with this issue?  By the way my hdpvr and hdhr 
tuners change channels fine.
