[mythtv-users] problems with new install

[Harondel J. Sibble]

Okay, built a new mythtv box, running MDK9.2 on an Athlon XP1800+, via KT133a 
chipset with 2 at avermedia M179 cards, using the Thac 0.14 rpm's to install 
mythtv. I used Thac's ivtv driver and firmware rpm's but eventually installed 
the ivtv-cvs-latest+1125A+M179+close_stream.tar.bz2 version instead as I 
couldn't find test_ioctl amongst the Thac rpms.

Got everything configured and now have 1 main problem

Okay, after a bit of mucking about and copying the configuration from my 
MDK8.2 box running 0.11, I can now set a recording and have it record, I 
currently have 2 shows recording, I can go to the view recordings page and 
playback the shows/watch them timeshifted.  Live-tv also works fine....
However, I only get channel 3.  Selecting a different channel, shows the osd 
saying it's a different channel, but I end up still on channel 3, no matter 
if I key in a channel number or hit up/down arrow keys.

Anyone see anything strange here?
