I have an interesting problem that one of you may be able to help with.
I recently setup a MythTV on an MSI motherboard with AMD64. It works
great sometimes. I am using a Hauppauge PVR-150.
The problem is that my lower stations will be in tune for a short time
(6 hours - 1 day) then there will be nothing on the station except show,
noise, whatever, but absolutely no picture or sound. I then disconnect
the cable from the card, wait a short time (3-5 secs) and reconnect the
cable. The card will now tune these stations (3,5,10,13) correctly.
But again only for a short time and the process repeats. I have tried
checking the grounds for the cable and the computer. I will ground the
splitter at the junction into the house with no change. I will
disconnect this ground with no change. My regular TV sets do not
exhibit these problems. However, the lower stations may have more
"fuzz" then the higher stations, I have not looked for this pattern.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bryan
