I've had that problem on and off. I have never been able to get a good
response on what causes it. In my case I've deleted and rebuilt
settings as I suggested earlier and it fixed it. In other cases it did
not. Long ago I found that if I installed ivtv-0.2.0 and then
installed ivtv-0.4.0 over the top of it that it fixed it. Probably my
best results have been using ivtv from the web site instead of
portage, but even that hasn't been fool proof.

It's a tough one being that I'm not a developer or even a sys admin -
just a funky stupid user type.

If I can remember anything else I've done I'll write back again.
