| Post subject: | Tuner problem |
I have 2 PVR-150's. On one tuner channel 3 is good, on the other it is less than good. Grainy pixeled (most likely due to bad signal), but usable. So I figured I had a bad cable. I tried switching cables between tuners fully expecting that to be the fix. Nope that tuner gives me the same picture on that channel and ch 2 for that matter. no matter what cable is plugged in. Any ideas? |

Perhaps the wrong cable standard (cable-hrc/irc)... |

I am not quite sure I follow? All the other channels past channel 3 look fine. |

Do you have anything in the loop rebroadcasting on those channels like a cable box, vcr, ...? Have you checked for other sources of cross talk? Have you tried fine tuning? |

ok how I am set up From the wall to a 3 way splitter. one into a cable modem and the other two into my Myth box. Then from my Myth box to the TV. No VCR. I will try the fine tuning, but I did not think it could be done on a per tuner basis. |

It almost sounds like the problem I reported. For me it's 2-5 on the one card; not just 3. Also you say it looks like bad signal, while I think mine looks like bad encoding. Still I wonder if it's possible that the problems are similar... Is one of your cards older than the other? Are they both the EXACT same pvr-150 model? (there are a few variants of the PVR-150) |

They were not bought at the same time. I am not sure how to tell if they are different with out opening the box. |

Check the log files as covered in the troubleshooting pages on the wiki. That will tell you the appropriate PVR models and a bunch of other information about the cards. |

Ok I will do that and see what I can find out. |
