For now, perhaps forget MythTV and just see if you can get a stable input running with something like tvtime - [ N] media-tv/tvtime (0.9.12): High quality television application for use with video capture cards. Perhaps some tweaking to /etc/X11/xorg.conf is needed or different params to the video card driver to change some options. If the system won't play live tv, without issue, messing with MythTV won't fix it.
