That may have contributed to the problem but the real issue was the new LG 42" LCD I was fooling around with.
I have three tuner cards in the mythbuntu box + the HD tuner in the both my Philips and the new 42" LG High Def LCD we bought recently.
The signal is coming from two antennas each with a masthead amp. Essentially, each antenna serves two tuners. I'm in a fringe area so have spent considerable resources on sorting out decent signals.
I took the Philips out and put the LG in to replace it. I plugged the signal cable in, previously working well in the Philips. The other (split) signal cable was going to one of the Ultraviews in the myth box. Didn't watch SBS that day so you know what's coming. Yup, plugging a split antenna lead into an LG seriously hurts your signal levels and quality. It seems to suck the ether right out of the airways. Forget about splitting the signal. On a windy day it was enough to stop SBS working down here.
Plugging a dedicated signal lead into the LG had SBS behaving OK.
So, it looks like the LG goes into the spare room and the Philips stays.
Cheers
