Downgrading the kernel to 2.6.8 means SBS immediately works again. The
only problem I had was after changing to SBS in live view, keyboard
input stopped working. The only keystrokes that worked were the special
X server keystrokes, such as ctrl+alt+backspace.

Are newer kernel versions broken?

When broken, Mythtv reports 77% signal strength (hmm... seems low
considering how close we are to the transmitter) and can't get a signal
lock (or alternatively hangs).
