I'm really beginning to think this might be a time warner cable issue. I had this box hooked up to an Adelphia Cable connection for 10 months with the same config as I have now (I downgraded to ivtv 0.4.0) and it worked fine.
But now that it's on a Time Warner connection, it's not working at all. Does any know know if maybe time warner has changed it's freqancy table?
