Not the same issue at all.  I believe the problem referred to on the nVidia 
site is for a solid blue line, related to the overlay.  The issue here, as 
described, is a flourescent stripe (I would refer to it as resembling a 
rainbow or a diffraction pattern).  I don't think the nVidia issue involved a 
color change.  This issue is "pulsating" or shifting through the colors, 
which I believe indicates the conversion of subcarrier data (VBI) to 
displayable colors.  My only theory so far is that the data passed to Myth 
from the ivtv driver has changed since version 0.1.9 of the driver and now 
includes VBI data where it did not before (or, at least, some non-displayable 
data).  I have yet to have this hypothesis verified by anyone.
