Had the tuning error too, when I first set up my box.. that was easily fixed.
However.. I also had a problem with random channels not having sound, when zapping. I *think* I fixed it by adding /usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -v input=2,output=1 to my ivtv setup script. looks like an ivtv problem to me. I'm currently using ivtv-0.2.0-rc3c, on a PVR350, Rev K 257 according to the sticker. Anybody else with the same problem ?
