[olug] MythTV Issue

[Jay Swackhamer]

Is the newer card a PVR350? These are causing issues with certain  
versions of udev.

Have you tried to manually tune either card and do a
cat /dev/video0 > tmpfile.mpg
and see what you get?

What cable provider are you using or OTA?

Cox should have the frequency table of us-cable-hrc

If everything was working correctly for a long period of time, I'd  
check the physical cable, and replace any splitters. I have had to to  
replace splitters/cable at several sites for odd 'static' problems.

What version of ivtv?
