It handles digital cable here perfectly.  The cx2388 driver for analog
has some alsa sound problems.  I use a Hauppauge HVR 1800 tuner which
should be modern enough.  Check out the TVtime home page for their
change log.  I know there was a problem like you say for a short while
but I also know it has been fixed.  I have copious notes on this here
somewhere so if you need more info let me know.  I probably have it
here.
