Thanks for your help.

I tried to fine tune my PVR-350 using mythweb as recommended, but I'm
not sure how to come up with the +/- value.  I tried trial and error. 
It got (subjectively) better, but I would think there should be a
scientific or more accurate method to find out what the channels need
to be fine tuned to?  I Googled around a bit, but the only procedure I
found involved using xawtv or TV time, neither of which worked with
the PVR-350.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
