1 This morning I discovered my MythTV wasn't working. I tracked the
2 problem down to ivtv. I was using ivtv-0.4.5 with
3 kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r1. I remerged ivtv-0.4.5 and remodprobed ivtv,
4 but it still didn't work (something about bad module format.) Anyway, I
5 built a 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 kernel and installed ivtv-0.7.0 and rebooted
6 with the new kernel. ivtv will modprobe now, but I'm still having the
7 same problems with myth. Here's the output:

65 I cat /dev/video0 > temp.mpg and watched it, but there wasn't anything
66 there. What I mean is, although there was a black background in
67 gmplayer, I didn't see any TV programming. Can anyone help with this?
