Peter, Yes.. The problem is with the kernel tveeprom being used instead of ivtv's version. So quite simply...
- If you recompile your kernel, the tveeprom (ivtv version) will be overwritten with the kernel version and hence you will need to recompile ivtv AFTER recompiling your kernel. - If you dont recompile your kernel and simply install ivtv. You shouldn't have a problem. Things should work, but just incase they don't patch the source and try again. The patch fixes radio on the PVR500 (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=1203;list=ivtv).
