[mythtv-users] Static on some channels - PVR150 AND PVR500

[Mache Creeger]

Nice to have you back.

Have you tried a different coax cable?  I use RG6, Quad Shielded => 
2.2Ghz rated and stay away from the thinner RG59. How about the F 
connector terminations? Are they high quality compression fittings 
like SNAP N SEAL or are they cheapo hexagon crimp fittings that 
easily fall off.

I would uninstall and reinstall your ivtv drivers just to be on the 
safe side.

Lastly, I would check to make sure that your channel table has not 
been trashed. I do not know how to do that but I am sure Google can help.
