I checked and wasn't specifying a tuner type, but I am autodetecting and
letting it get the appropriate type for my card (47).

Oddly enough, I just had an unrelated nvidia xid so I had to reboot. 
After the reboot this started to work fine again. My only worry now is a
recoccurrence.  I have had this box working fine since Jan or so this
year and nothing of the such ever happened.
