<big>Thanks, Brian, for gently insisting that I check my cable, etc.
Turned out that replacing the cable did the trick.<br>
<br>
As for the volume, I found out how to adjust the default in the myth
front end config gui. However, all is still not well, but I'll start
another email thread for that. For now - thanks!<br>

<div>Well a cable or connector could be bad, or the splitter itself.
The only way to be absolutely sure is to connect a known good TV set to
the exact same connector.</div>

As far as HRC and IRC are concerned, I don't understand. I'm not using
a cable box - it is just a straight cable from the outside (it is not a
signal issue since all is fine on my XP/PVR-150 box that shares a cable
into a splitter).<br>

<div>HRC/IRC have nothing directly to do with a cable box. There are
(in the USA) three possible standards for frequency allocation -
STD/HRC/IRC. Without going into detail it just means that the carriers
run on slightly different frequencies. Often the AFC in a tuner can
make up for the variances but sometimes not.</div>

<div>But if you have a 150 similarly configured that is probably not
your problem. You should do the standard PVR thing of powering down for
several minutes to be sure your card is not storing some oddball setup
parameter though. You could swap the PVR cards between the machines to
see if the problem follows the card, PIA but definitive.</div>

<div>Is there a pattern to the channels that you do get with ivtvctl
?Perhaps you are only getting the lower frequency channels, or the
higher ones ? This can get very confusing because the actual order of
channels is 2-6, 14-22, 7-13, 23-60 etc. If you are getting or not
getting only channels 5 and 6 you almost certainly have an HRC/IRC
problem. Only getting the lower or higher frequencies could point to a
connector or splitter problem.</div>

<div>Reset the 350, and if you still have trouble try to get more
info about exactly what you can and can't get, maybe we can figure out
from the pattern what's going on.</div>
