[MPlayer-users] Tv channels won't change!!

I've had mplayer running on my machine for a couple of
years now and one of my favorite things is to be able to
listen/watch tv shows while I work on things on the computer.

I upgraded the kernel from linux 2.4.20 to 2.4.26 today and
everything's working fine except that now for some reason 
I can't change channels on the tv anymore.

I didn't change the startup file and I made sure and built all
the bttv stuff into the kernel. The tv works fine and when I
change the channels the numbers on the little tv screen change
but the channel itself stays the same. Also when I start it up the 
channel starts up on the wrong channel. 

Any help forthcoming will be greatly appreciated.   :)

Here's the startup file that has worked for the last 2 years.


#!/bin/bash

CHANNELS='2-2,3-3,4-4,5-5,6-6,7-7,8-8,9-9,10-10,11-11,12-12,13-13,14-14,15-15,16-16,17-17,18-18,19-19,20-20,21-21,
22-22,23-23,24-24,25-25,26-26,27-27,28-28,29-29,30-30,31-31,32-32,33-33,34-34,35-35,36-36,37-37,38-38,39-39,40-40,
