Interesting... I'm using the same hardware and it seems we also live in the
same area...

Actually, I might have a 3400+, not 3100+ (I'm not home so I can't check it
right now).  However, I noticed that I get better results without XvMC.  Of
course, I'm using an old Nvidia driver.  The newer ones got rid of XV
picture controls, so I had to go back.

Another thought: When did you start having problems?  The weather seems to
have been messing with my reception lately. I get sporadic studdering.
