Hi, The problem (for me) is that neither tuning with Myth nor ivtvctl nor ptune.pl work. They all give static on channels that should work. The only way to get stations tuned is to first boot Windows, watch 1 second of TV and then warm boot to Linux. After that I can tune any channel I want with all three applications.
One other thing I noticed when using the Windows trick, is that the sound skips every 15 minutes or so. This gets especially bad when using MythTV to record to watch it later on. Skipping happens every minute or so. I don't think the problem is with Myth, because mplayer has the same problem when playing the stream from /dev/video0.
