Hey people, this is my first post, i hope i'm not asking something that has 
already been answered.

I'm using Fedora 7 and a Pinnacle PCTV USB2 device. When i first got the 
device, i was using kernel 2.6.21 and (to my amazement) the device worked 
out-of-the-box the first time i plugged it in! I use tvtime as a TV viewer.

I recently run "yum update" which installed the latest 2.6.22 kernel and since 
then my Pinnacle PCTV USB2 is broken. When tvtime starts, i can see the 
'current' channel, but once i switch 1-2 channels then it dies and all i see is 
grey static. Which can only be solved if i remove the device from the USB, 
reboot the system (or rmmod/modprobe the em28xx driver) and start over again. 
No matter what i do, i can only see the default channel the first time, once i 
switch channels the driver breaks and all i get is static.

Please help!
