I'm not sure if this will help or not, but try going into the 
mythtv-setup and go to your card.  Under a button labeled "Recording 
Options" there's a check box that says "Open DVB On Demand".  Checking 
that helped for me.  I have a pcHDTV 5500 card and I would get a green 
snowy picture on my Analog portion when tuning.  This worked for me, 
even though the setting was on the DVB (digital) portion of the card setup.

Sorry if this doesn't help.
