* I took out the other capture cards (the pcHDTV-5500 and PVR-350)
   Then tested -- same problem. Choppy/broken Video/Sound.

* I moved the pcHDTV-3000 into another slot.
   Then tested -- same problem.

In both cases, the Myth still reports > 92% signal and 3.9dB S/N (which if I remember right is 39dB S/N)

So either the card has bit the dust somehow -- or it's something else maybe I'm not aware of.

Does anyone know of system settings (I did setup udev to wire the 3000 & 5500 so they end up as the same device names)
or firmware (I haven't done anything with that) that might cause problems?

Maybe some debug settings I can enable to further determine if the card has bought the farm?

Thanks,
