Whoah I just noticed something else, it appears when I "zap" a lot 
(rapidly changing channels, like with a regular television) the problem 
manifests itself. Apparently when running ivtv-tune something changes. 
Maybe some buffer/register doesn't get flushed, that does get flushed 
when stopping and restarting the stream?

Thanks

Glenn
