Hi all. I have a PVR-350 running on gentoo-amd64, Asus A8V mptherboard, 1GB memory & A radeon9600 video card wth 256MB on it. Up until the middle of the week I did have mythtv working fine. Great picture etc. Then it all went to shit... Thursday I put in a new HD (200GB SATA)...And moved my mythtv directory to it... And all of a sudden my picture went to nothing but static. Tonight I've been trying to get it back... But it's just not playing ball. I thought it might be the SATA drive interferring... Disconnet the new drive... Try again. Nothing. Thought it might be the aerial. try another one. No dice. Thought it might be the ivtv drivers for some reason. Try new ones. Same thing. Try older ones. Same thing. Try bleeding edge 0.3.3. Same thing. Play with ptune.pl a bit... Now where I am in the SE of the UK, BBC1 is on channel 26 out of crystal palace... That now shows nothing but static (Where it used to be 100%). But if I set the tuner to channel 27!!! using ptune.pl --input /dev/video0 --freqtable pal-europe-west --tuner-num 0 - --channel 27 I get a really really bad picture & bursts of sound.

Have I knocked it somehow & de-tuned it? (There's no physical tuning on it that I can see). Corrupted some NVRAM in it that needs resetting?
