Ahh ok.
I looked at the code, and enabled debug, and what I see is that
'noise' always equals 0x70000  regardless of what channel I tune, and
regardless of whether I have a lock or not.  This looks fiishy to me. 
Any idea why this would happen?
If it really were this bad, that is a SNR of ~ -15dB, and I can't
imagine I would be able to even obtain a lock, much less get a usable
stream from the card with it that low.

Thanks again,
.Geoff
