Different day different results. Today I start by doing a modprobe -r
ivtv then rm -r /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ivtv. Then a make install of the
0.6.3 prerelease. As you can see below there is no indication of any
problems.

So I:
ivtv-tune -c 4 -d /dev/video1
mplayer /dev/video1
ivtv-tune -c 5 -d /dev/video2
mplayer /dev/video2

No problems noted so I try mythfrontend which picks tuner 2 and I view
and change channels several times. So lets see if it holds up after a
reboot.

So I:
ivtv-tune -c 5 -d /dev/video1
mplayer /dev/video1
ivtv-tune -c 4 -d /dev/video2
mplayer /dev/video2

I notice that video1 is very snowy but video2 is clear. So:
ivtv-tune -c 5 -d /dev/video2
mplayer /dev/video2

Video2 shows no issue displaying the same channel. So:
ivtv-tune -c 7 -d /dev/video1
mplayer /dev/video1

Video1 now looks fine? Changing back to channel 5 for video1 and it is
still snowy. I can find no issues logged in the system area or for myth.
I did think the video could have been a little better in myth as well. A
final note, this system also has an HD-3000 card installed.
