My PVR-500 uses Samsung tuners. After I first started using it, I
sometimes got lousy reception, and sometimes reception was fine. It
got so bad that I'd set up Mom's system (with Philips-based PVR-500)
to record the same shows as a backup, in case mine crapped out.

BUT ... that problem has not occurred in some time now. My guess is
that some upgrade of ivtv (program or kernel modules) fixed it.

So .. which version of ivtv are you using? Since I use Fedora, and am
fairly "religious" about installing only RPM-based software, I'm using
the 0.10.3.129 version from the ATrpms site.
