[mythtv-users] Black Video on Watch TV

[Kevin Stone]

Myth .11
PVR 250
Redhat 9.0

Launching Watch TV I get a blank screen that is unresponive to any of the
conntrols defined in keys.txt including <ctl><esc>.

I can capture video with cat /dev/video0 and display with mplayer no sound
at the moment but I dont believe that would cause my problem.

Im new to this and have been reading the docs but would appreciate
any info that points me in the right direction
