To be honest, I can't remember seeing your earlier post. It's quite
hectic and sometimes you have to repeat yourself a few times.
Can you make a screenshot or something of the difference between the two
tuners?
I understand that you have the Samsung tuner: if so, then also try the
following: tune to a channel that's fuzzy. Now run ivtvctl -R. You'll
get a number (it's actually the frequency in MHz times 16). Next
subtract 20 and run ivtvctl -r <newnumber>. If that doesn't work, add
20. There has been a suggestion that the Samsung tuners are 1.25MHz
off, and it would be interesting to see if that might be the case.
I'm still trying to obtain the datasheet of this tuner. In fact, I'll
make a followup call to Samsung tomorrow.

Hans
