Hopefully tonight I will get a chance to isolate the machine and hook the incoming cable directly to the mythbox. If it still happens I'll try isolating the ground. As far as the history of the machine. This only seemed to appear when I installed the new Mythbuntu, in previous versions and in windows (when the machine had windows installed on it) the card worked perfectly. I haven't tested the other inputs and I haven't noticed if it's a time issue (how long the machine is running). Thanks for the ideas thus far, -Rob On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 8:36 PM, Steven Toth <stoth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 6:43 PM, Andy Walls <awalls@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On Tue, 2009-11-24 at 13:05 -0500, Robert Longfield wrote: >>> I have a PVR-150 card running on mythbuntu 9 and it appears that my >>> card is suffering a vertical (and possibly a horizontal) sync issue. >>> >>> The video jumps around, shifts from side to side, up and down and when >>> it shifts the video wraps.
