Its a known ivtv issue - the ivtv web page (ivtv.sourceforge.net) states
automatic firmware reset will be in the next version. In the mean time
you need to rmmod/insmod saa7115 to reset it, in my experience. Can';t
hurt to do the whole lot though. 

Axboes drivers (link also at the ivtv page) are on 031125 now last time
I looked. You might find a newer version of the drivers & the latest
firmware from Hauppage would help.
