OK, I think I found it.  I stopped the backend, went into mythtv-setup, 
then went into the Video Sources.  For my Analog input from 
SchedulesDirect, I had the frequency table set at us-bcast.  I set it to 
us-cable and it seems OK now.  The sound is a little behind the video by 
a small margin (maybe a half second or so), so I might play around with 
other frequency tables, like us-cable-hrc, etc.

Thanks for the help!  Now its onto LIRC! LOL!!!!
