Does the module in 2.6.10 contain the same patch as on ckennnedy's site (for the type 50 tuners)? If so, I have already tried patching 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 - with the same results.

Unfortunately, I can't explain it. (Unless you can tune to channel 2--or whatever your lowest channel is--power off the system, boot the system and get good video indefinitely, change to your highest channel and get good video indefinitely, and change to your lowest channel and get this behavior... If that's the case, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks. :). At this point, I recommend upgrading to Linux 2.6.10 (released Dec 24). It contains a proper definition for the tuner, so no patches are required. Simply install the new kernel (and its tuner module) and then install ivtv. If you get the same behavior, the problem is not with the tuner module.
