[mythtv-users] can't change the channel

[Aaron Stewart]

Did you ever resolve this? I'm still running into the same problem.

Specs:
Athlon 2800+
Asus nForce2 based mboard
WinTV PVR250 x 2 (rev1) - Philips NTSC (tuner type=2 -- this worked
before)
Myth 0.15
ivtv (tried 0.9.x and 0.10.0 -- no difference)
Kernel 2.4.25
Mandrake 10.0 (Community)

I'm at wit's end.. i've spent about a month on the issue (different
kernels, modules, versions of mythtv, etc.), without luck.  The symptoms
are what's being seen below.

Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Aaron
