OK, someone stated that my TNT2 card may be the culprit, so I changed 
it out with a Geforce2 GTS card. I now still get the whole-screen blank 
screen, no audio, but an entirely different error message in the 
backend window:

Changing from none to WatchingLiveTV
audio volume set to 32768
strange error flushing buffer. ...


Is this one easier to fix? ;-)

I hope someone can help me with this....

thanks!
