Comment(by Dave <megadave at gmail.com>):

 some additional info, which may be of use.

 <djc_> mythbacke 28572    mythtv   20u     IPv4     113084
 UDP *:8208
 <djc_> and here is vlc:
 <djc_> wxvlc     28671    mythtv    9u     IPv4     113565
 UDP 236.0.12.3:8208
 <djc_> so vlc is binding a specfic multicast IP, whereas myth is binding *


 <djc_> the service provider runs ethernet to the tv, they put a small box
 there, which you normally 'tune' with.. then it outputs on ch 3 to the
 tv over coax (it also has NTSC and SVID out)
 <djc_> ive taken the ethernet, removed it from their device, and connected
 it to my box
 <djc_> and I can tune one program just fine, even with myth
 <djc_> the problem comes when I try to create two 'network recorder'
 capture cards, and tune two
 <djc_> i can run multiple vlc instance and watch multiple programs and it
 works fine.. with myth the video becomes unintelligble
 when i try to tune more than one

 <djc_> and reading over that thread at
 http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux/2006-September/016144.html

 <djc_> suggests the problem, which makes perfect sense
 <djc_> two vlc's work fine. heck even four of them (each one tuned to a
 different show) work fine
 <djc_> so the funkiness is in myth
 <djc_> and i beleive it has to do with it binding a wildcard instead of
 the specific multicast ip for what its tuning
