Yesterday when moving my mythtv computer from the living room, I noticed
something odd, the coax screw on connectors for the tuner are actually not
phyically mated to the tuner module. They pull right off to reveal an RCA
type plug in the other side. Jiggling with the connector can make a big
difference in terms of the picture quality and whether you get a picture at
all.
Seems a bit of a strange design as every other tuner card I've seen (in the
past 10 years, I've probably owned easily 2-3 dozen such cards) has the coax
connector firmly mated to the tuner module itself.
