I think I'm having similar trouble, but with a much larger block of 
channels (Time Warner Cable in Minneapolis) and KnoppMyth installation.

A PVR-350 card that can tune in channels 2-13 in fine, 14-20 are snow, 
21-36 come in fine, then 37-60 are snow and lastly, 60+ are OK

I've also messed with the fine-tuning on mythweb with no success.  I 
called my cable company and they said they use the standard 
frequencies.  I've tried the other 1 or 2 (don't remember now) settings 
for USA in myth setup with no success either (actually, worse results)
