Um... is that LG TAPE a bad thing? If so I found some bad news in the logs...

I've attached the output as ivtvlog.txt but the lines that worry my
after your comment are:
Sep 25 09:43:49 flynnguy kernel: tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 32552,
rev = C168, serial# = 2779893
Sep 25 09:43:49 flynnguy kernel: tveeprom: tuner = LG NTSC (TAPE
series) (idx = 68, type = 47)
Sep 25 09:43:49 flynnguy kernel: tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom
= 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000)
Sep 25 09:43:49 flynnguy kernel: tveeprom: audio_processor = MSP3440 (type = 11)

but I don't know a whole lot about tv capture cards or TV formats
other than I want NTSC-M. Hopefully someone can help me.
