Thanks for the comments. This is via TV-Out on the EPIA mobo itself. I know
TV-out works fine, since I can see the console as well as xwindows and the myth
GUI itself with no problem. I've gone into program listings, etc in myth and
all has gone well.
When I go through the myth GUI and select "Watch TV" the screen blanks for a
couple of seconds, the HD starts spinning, and the pink screen starts up. As I
mentioned in the origional email I can change channels, and amidst the pink
mess it looks like the OSD comes up, since i can vaguely make out some text
that appears when I change the channel then goes away after a second or two.
I haven't actually tried using the CRT out since I've always had this puppy
hooked to the television.
I like the suggestion of trying to view the video in a standard player, and I
installed xine this afternoon (I'll have to wait until I get home to play with
it, since I'm at work at the moment).
Here's an output of lsmod if it helps... I don't think I'm missing anything
that I'd need:
video root # lsmod

Is this enough detail?
