Hello,

I still can't seem to get this combination to work. Mythtv can't get a
signal lock (despite reported 77% signal strength).

What is curious is:

* All other channels work fine.

* Downgrading to 2.6.8 seems to fix the problem - except in live
  replay mode keyboard/IR input stops working (except
  ctrl-alt-back+space).

* tzap and mplayer can tune to the problem channel without any problem
  (except mplayer gives me stutter the first time - this goes away
  with subsequent tunes - then I get perfect results everytime). This
  is independent of the kernel used.

Unfortunately, downgrading to 2.6.8 breaks other nice things, such as
udev support and ivtv. So I would really like to be able to use the
latest kernel version.

Any ideas?

It would appear to be a mythtv issue, not a kernel issue, or a
hardware issue, because tzap tunes to the channel almost immediately
every single time.

Thanks.
