[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend does not display TV, just a black screen

[Michael Kipper]

Hi,

I have gotten MythTV almost running, but at the very end, I get no video.
I can run setup, mythbackend and mythfrontend with no visible problems, but
when I click "Watch TV", I just get a black screen.
I can watch TV just fine using xawtv, in overalay and grabdisplay modes.
Please help me troubleshoot!

Thanks,
Michael
