[mythtv-users] Static on channels 5-6 with PVR250 AND PVR500?

I think this is more of an ivtv issue but I'll ask here anyway....  
Lately it seems I'm been having an issue getting channels 5-6 to come in 
clearly.  Channel 6 is really static and channel 5 the color is faded 
out so it almost look back and white.  All my other channels are fine.  
If I connect a TV directly to the cable 5 and 6 are crystal clear.   All 
other channels (that are setup and accessible from myth) seem to be 
fine.   Both channels worked previously.  It seems to happen regardless 
of what kernel I'm using.  The only thing I've seen that's changed is 
the upgrade from ivtv 0.2 to 0.4.  I could go back but that would mean 
I'd have to go to an earlier kernel too since I don't seem to get sound 
out of my PVR500 with the newer ones.  I don't want to do that because I 
had issues with those are are bigger then this.  For the time being I 
have just lower the priority for the analog channels 5 and 6 so it will 
use my tuner connect to a digital cable box instead (where there is no 
problem).  I'm running Fedora core 4 with atrpms.  Anyone seen this 
and/or have any idea?  Just wait for a fix?  Report it?
