This is probably not it but it is what was causing a similar problem on my
myth system.  I had a conflict between the tuner cards and the video card.
 I cured it by disabling the video on the normal setup and loading it with
envyng.  This is with a mythbuntu system obviously.  I think that changed
the order that the video card is loaded so that the tuner cards could get in
there before the conflict.  Perhaps this will help you.
