Cable quality. If you've got RG-6, you should be good to go. Only thing better is RG-6 QS (quad shield, best for very long runs and/or outdoor use). > 3. I do not believe signal strength is an issue.

Enable at-testing in /etc/apt/sources.list and run another apt-get update, then you can get 0.2.0rc versions, enable at-bleeding and you get 0.3.0 versions. Won't do anything for the tuner version though, that comes from the kernel-module-video4linux-`uname -r` package. You may or may not have that installed. I'm late to the thread, what distro was this on? If FC2, its quite possible you do have it installed, but the stock modutils doesn't pick up on it. As Mike said, a few different fixes have been suggested in the recent past, though I've been a bit busy and haven't noticed if they've helped significantly... > Has ANYONE gotten these type 50 tuners to work correctly? Yes, some people have.
