[mythtv-users] Scrambled TV Input

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with my television input. When I go into mythtv
most of the time the television input looks scrambled. It is tuned to a
channel I receive and everything, but it still is scrambled. I can
usually fix this by going into xawtv and changing the input.
Interestingly, xawtv boots up with the input defined as unknown, so I
change it so it is defined as television, and then xawtv seems to work.
Then I close xawtv, and boot up mythtv and it seems to have been fixed.
About 10% of the time it does not work, so I have to go into xawtv again
and try to get it to work again. However when I get mythtv to finally
play the tv normally, if I switch to my other input (composite), and
then I switch back to the TV input, it becomes scrambled again. If it
makes a difference, I have the same signal coming through the composite
and the tv connections. All advice and help would be greatly, greatly
appreciated.
Thank You,
Colin
