Hey John,
I had the same problem, I was instructed to delete all of my other tuner
cards, and add the Pinnacle 800i in first. I did it and it works
perfectly now. There was an issue with the sound but changing some
settings in mythtv cleared that up. I hope that helps you. The only
thing I have not tested is the FM tuner yet
James
I tried this last night, if the Pinnacle 800i is the only analog tuner for MythTV it works fine, but as soon as I add the DVB portion of the Pinnacle 800i or the DVB portion of the KWorld 110, the analog tuning of the Pinnacle 800i starts failing again, by failing I mean it shows a clear picture for about a second, then goes to static.
