I have had similar problems with my card only slightly different, *some*
channels would only broadcast SAP, what if you just connect an antenna 
to the card? or what about a vcr ..?? does any RF input give you audio?

what if you connect the AV from the playstation to the card does that 
work? if you are using the AV from the playstation and thats not working 
then its probably a mixer issue .. meaning you will have to figure out 
which mixer your bt878 card is assigned to.
