I hope someone here can help me, or I might have to take drastic measures and upgrade to a version of MythTV not marked stable. I've googled but still found no solution. I'm running kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 with mythtv-0.19_p10505 and this evening I upgraded my ivtv drivers to 0.8.1 (I just built the new kernel tonight.) MythTV will not show LiveTV. I can get a signal directly from /dev/v4l/video0, but not in Myth. I've tried running mythtv-setup and deleting and re-creating all my settings to no avail. Here's the ouput:
