I have just today discovered, that if I boot the machine with "nosmp" as 
a kernel parameter to disable SMP, it does changes channels just fine.

I was inspired to try this based on this troubleshooting tip:
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#IVTV_may_cause_hangs_when_run_on_an_Intel_processor_with_Hyperthreading_enabled.

If the other two that are also experiencing this are also on Intel Duo 
processors and disabling SMP works for them too, I guess that goes a 
long way to finding a root cause.

At the very least, if I don't hear to the contrary, I'll modify the 
above troubleshooting section to include info about SMP for Intel 
processors along with hyper threading.

Sincerely,

Peter
