[mythtv-users] Stream Errors

Ok, I've had it!  I've tried to fix this myself for nearly a year now and as much as it kills me, I have to ask for help.

I have a Haugpauge Nova-T 500 dual DVB tuner.  I can some serious stream errors on it when watching live tv. I've dicked with the LNA settings and pretty much tried them all.  There is absoutely nothing wrong with my antenna rig, as I've got STB's and HDTV's that use it and have absolutely no issue with signal.  Mythtv says signal is at about 56% when locking on a station.

The key thing I think is' something to do with MythTV and the way it handles LiveTV.  When I sheduled TV to record, it's perfect every time!  LiveTV, stream errors. You know, the glitchy screen, the pops and squeaks through the audio.  It drives me insane!  Now I've done a lot of research on this, and I know everyone is going to say, "It's not MythTV because....blah".  But why does recorded TV never have a problem then?  Are there any other TV apps for linux I can try to isolate whether it is definitely a Myth issue or it really is something to do with my card?

Does anyone have any idea of something I can do to improve stream errors or help isolate where my problem is?  I reckon the MythTv wiki needs a stream error page!!
