I was rather surprised by this as it had stopped working previously very reliably after 20-30 minutes. I had not tried your patch and don't know what the difference was the allowed it to now work. I had upgrade Kubuntu 5.04 to 5.10, changing the kernel from 2.6.10-5-386 to 2.6.12-9-K7 as well as going from ivtv-0.3.6someletter to ivtv-0.4.0. I'm guessing it wasn't the change in ivtv since I never heard of anything on the list and suppose it was probably the kernel update that must have made the difference. Can you tell me what kernel version you are using?
For all I know it may have only made the remote loss far less frequent for me and it will die tomorrow, but for now I am happy. I appreciate you updating your patch and making it available and I'm sure that several others will be able to benefit from it if it is added to the main ivtv driver.
