I agree about the video driver, but about a year or so ago, I had 
similar issues, someone suggested updating the driver, I did and it 
fixed it.  So I thought I'd try it again.  I'm running Mythbuntu 9.04.  
Do you think it could be something with the v4l drivers that are 
installed out of the box?  How can I check them?

I didn't try changing the power cord.  Why would that matter?  Unless 
you're joking with me about that. LOL!

Thanks,
Harry
