Hi, Please disregard my prior message from 12/22 ( see below ); I solved the problem.
FYI - the issue was only that the frequency settings ( us-cable ) seem to be incorrect for my location. I added a frequency scanning routine to ivtv-tune to locate valid frequencies and this successfully located the valid frequencies.
