There is no easy "fix".  Neither MythTV nor the driver is at fault,
given the specification for the format of the information is
undefined.

This was discussed at length on the linux-media mailing list (and I
suggest you review the archives for the full debate).  Unless the
specification is clarified to specify a particular unit of measure
(and then *every* driver modified to match the specification), or the
API is changed to provide a way to tell the application what the unit
of measure is (and then every driver is modified to report what
measure they are using), the situation will remain unchanged for the
foreseeable future.
