[mythtv-users] Upgraded to .19 and only get static

Hello All,

Just upgraded to .19 from .18 and everything works great except for LiveTV
and obviously new recordings.  When I try and view LiveTV all I get now is
static.  I have a PVR-250 taking input from an external cable box.  I only
upgraded the myth debs (i built them from source since I run KnoppMyth but
didnt want to blow away my entire system to upgrade).  Since I am getting
static it appears that ivtv is still functioning but it is not setting the
tuner to chan 3 so that it can receive the input from the cable box. I still
have ivtv 0.2.0 on the backend.  Does .19 require a higher version (0.4.x)
?  I tried to reset ivtv with ivtvctl -v input=3,output=1 but still get
static.  Here is the output from a sql query showing myths tuner settings:

*************************** 1. row ***************************
