I have the card mentioned and can't get any clean steams out of it.
Every
single channel comes accross with lots of artifacts. Only other HD
tuner
in the house is the Time Warner HD PVR and it works fine. I've given
this
card as much signal as I possibly can. Yes, this is cable and it's an
unencrypted signal.
I'm primarily trying to set this up in MythTV but even steams captured
straight from dvr0 are not right. As far as I can tell with azap I'm
getting things right..

an example of the output is here ->

I just don't know what to look for next. Is it just a bum card? Or is
there something else I can do? I'm running cvs v4l-dvb from today.
Based on your problem description, I don't think that the driver is the
problem. here. It seems that you are experiencing a weak signal. I
too, was experiencing problems like this before I purchased a drop-amp,
but the driver DOES work.
I recommend that you test the card using the windows driver... You will
probably notice the same problems. There is one difference,
however... The windows driver uses DxVA for the mpeg decoding. This
isn't always possible when using linux, due to the proprietary video
drivers out there. :-(
So, unfortunately, I dont think your situation can be helped without
amplifying the signal.
