I think this is due to ivtv-tune requiring the HOME environment
variable which isn't
available at init time. I had this in my channel change script:
export HOME=/root
/usr/bin/ivtv-tune --channel=3 --device=/dev/video2
/usr/local/bin/channel $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9
But whatever I had misconfigured seems to be fixed now and I don't
think I need the ivtv-tune
anymore.
And like Mike says using the Composite or S-Video output would be a
better choice if it works for you.
