I have a problem recording video with my mythtv box.  Here's a little background  
first: 

I've been able to run MythTV 0.13 and 0.14 before on the same computer.
 
My cable provider is Comcast (digital)
 
I have two capture cards, a PVR-350 and PVR-250.  I'm using an nvidia  Geforce 
FX to output video
 
I reinstalled fedora/myth using Jarod's guide after I screwed up my video output,  
probably by not paying attention and updating to the newest nvidia drivers
 
I'm at the point of reinstallation where I've installed PVR-250/350 (no-tv-out)  drivers 
and am trying to capture video.
 

When I set ptune-ui.pl to NTSC-CABLE-HRC (as it used to be), and tune to channel  
3, I can successfully record audio but the video looks scrambled for lack of a better  
word.  A search on this mailing list didn't come up with much.  I made sure the video  
cables aren't touching other cables.  Other channels have the same problem too. 

Please help! 

Thanks, 
Keola
