OT - Need help with MythTV and LiveTV

I hope someone here can help me, or I might have to take
drastic
measures and upgrade to a version of MythTV not marked
stable.  I've
googled but still found no solution.  I'm running kernel
2.6.18-gentoo-r3 with mythtv-0.19_p10505 and this evening I
upgraded my
ivtv drivers to 0.8.1 (I just built the new kernel tonight.)
MythTV will
not show LiveTV.  I can get a signal directly from
/dev/v4l/video0, but
not in Myth.  I've tried running mythtv-setup and deleting
and
re-creating all my settings to no avail.  Here's the ouput:

What can I do to fix this?  On site I looked at said that
this was fixed
in mythtv-0.20, but I don't want to upgrade until it's
marked stable, if
I can help it...

Just backup your mythconverg database (mysqldump mythconverg
-u mythtv -pmythtv 
 > mysql-0.19.sql), and try upgrading.  If you don't like
it, you can always 
restore your database and go back to the older versions.
