Better yet, I took my card and plugged it into a known good machine, still fuzzy channels. I also took a known good card and plugged it into my configuration, still fuzzy. So it's definitely the card, which I don't understand because I just got this thing up and running. I'm in the process of contacting Hauppauge now to see about a replacement.
