Glad to know I'm not the only one having this problem. I saw the thread
from John Williams about something similar, although his description was
that he was getting static, and in his logs he was having problems with the
eeprom module not loading correctly, which I've looked for and do not have.
I only have one tveeprom module and according to the logs it's loading
correctly.
It is exactly as Richard describes where I can specify a channel to tune to
and it gets it close enough so that if I'm watching carefully I can kinda
see what the program on is between the flipping and vertical bars, and
indeed it's the channel I specified. I always thought that the frequencies
were a good guess for the card since they might be slightly different for
each person and it was the job of the hardware tuner to take that guess and
get to the closest good frequency, which it apparently isn't doing. Even
manually passing frequencies to it using ptune.pl seems to get the exact
same result unless I pass it a value far enough away from the correct
frequency to get complete static. It's almost as if the tuner is homing in
on the correct frequency plus an offset, so it never gets tuned in
correctly.
I'm going to try the card in a windows box tonight to see if it is indeed
hardware related, but somehow I'm doubting that since it worked fine before
and all I did was move it between two boxes.
I'll also take some pictures of it during the move so that we can see if
we're talking about the same card.
Does it look like this:

I had one of those (purchased in Dec. 2003). The audio started to lag
behind the video, and the video would have lots of wavy lines, on each
side of the picture. I tried the card under Windows in 2 different
computers, sadly I had the same results in both.
I RMA'd the card, and they sent me a new one. It's smaller with no
heatsink on the main chip. It looks like this:

Card isn't right in front of me, but the capture still works perfectly
from a source like my DVD player. My problems happen to be tuner only,
and I bet Josh is having the same issue (sounds like it at least).
