I just built myself a new system, and i'm getting the exact same
thing... but ONLY if I modify the default resolutions/encoding
options... If I don't, I just get a weird image  which seems to
..uhm... save the previous channel on every other line of output, so
each time I change the channels, I get this half overlayed version of
the last image of the previous channel.
I should say however, that I have used my tv tuner without a problem
in my other computer, so my guess is, it isn't the card.

If you figure it out, please tell me what it was though, won't have
time to fiddle until tuesday..
