I'm not using a pcHDTV tuner, but I am using cx88_alsa with an HVR3000
card, and I get annoying pops and crackles in the audio when I'm
watching analog TV. I posted about it a while ago, but no-one replied.
I'm in the UK so this is using a PAL tuner.
Any thoughts might help both situations I guess.
Robert.
