Could it be a pci or internal ambient interference problem? Have you tried a different slot? / moving it further away from other adapters, etc.? I'm also having quality issues with a PAL 500, the picture also seems worse on one of the tuners. I already have a masthead amp, but will try a second signal booster close to my Mythbox.
