Hi,

I've been struggling a few days trying to make mythtv work with
my TT budget DVB card. Any help would be more than welcomed.

The card works OK with e.g. mplayer.

The problem is, that "watch TV" always just results in a black screen.

Trace from the frontend looks OK (no errors).

Trace from the backend looks suspicious, see below.

Many thanks in advance & br,

Esa

P.S.
I'm running Fedora Core 2, with a stock 2.6.9 kernel
