Eric,

Sorry for not getting back sooner (I've been dealing with a personal situation and haven't logged into my dev system for a few weeks).

What rf analog source are you using?
Have you used v4l2-ctl to ensure the tuner is set to the right tv standard (my changes default to NTSC-M)?
Have you used v4l2-ctl or ivtv-tune to tune to the proper tv channel (the driver defaults to US channel 4)?
Does v4l2-ctl --log-status still show no signal present for the '843 core in the CX23418?
Does mplayer /dev/videoN -cache 8192 have a tv station when set to the rf analog input with v4l2-ctl?

>From what I recall the analog tuner init looked ok.
