OK, I had got most of the stuff working on my MythTV setup, but somehow I 
botched something, so that now I have no TV, only static
How should I go about debugging this
Any pointers

Configuration
- ASUS pundit, FC2, linux kernel 2.6.8.1, PVR-350, but using the S-Video of 
the ASUS to connect to the TV


Problem
- I can see mythtvsetup gui just fine, can also see the MythWeather etc..., 
but no TV, its only static. I had this working before.
How should I go about debugging this:
- What logs to look at?
- I already tried cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/m.mpg
  mplayer /tmp/m.mpg only shows static
  Should this work?

- I am guessing, nothing is being recorded, so the PVR-350 is not working 
right. Should I remove everything from modprobe.conf file, reboot and try 
and reload modules manually

- What other simple checks I can do, without starting mythfrontend

thanks
- Abhi
