[mythtv-users] Comcast and HD-3000

Hello,

I am trying to be able to watch Comcast HD stations on my D-3000 card,
and am having lots of problems with the reception.  I can only find 2 of
the channels via the scan, however I was down at the local office today
and they had quite a few more local channels listed.  The main problem
is though is that I only get one good frame out of like 20 it seems. 
The picture and audio is great when it comes in, but it only comes in
for fractions of a second.  

Has anyone else had this out of Comcast?  I'm in Gray, TN (small market
area) so I'm really doubting I'll find anyone on the list where I'm at
using the same setup.  I have a cable modem and have used the same
input, and the cable modem has quite good SnR.

Here's what I'm showing in the log files (this is probably TOO much 
information):
