Hauppauge PVR-250 video problem -- hardware or software?

Recently, I ordered a used Hauppauge PVR-250 from Ebay. When I got it, I promptly installed it and the newest drivers/apps on my Windows box. After about 5 minutes of good video, it ended up doing the following on every channel:
In addition, the video freezes in both WinTV2K and WinTV32 after a few seconds, requiring me to close the application and restart it -- resulting in the video freezing again after a few seconds.
So, I'm wondering if this is likely a hardware issue, in which case I'll seek a refund from the seller. Otherwise, if it's a software issue, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this?
My intention is to eventually use this in a MythTV box, but first I would like to know it works correctly.

They'd be much more qualified to help you, though I hope someone here can solve it quickly.
What kind of video drivers do you have installed. Do you have any weird video programs installed? Do you have WinDVD installed?
I am somewhat torn here since it really seems like a hardware thing... but that pattern is surprisingly clear and geometric. So try and find a better MPEG-2 driver first.
