[mythtv-users] Problem watching TV

[matt hatfield]

Sorry to be a bother, but I have looked through the lists and I haven't 
found a definate resolution to my exact problem. The problem is that 
when I click Watch TV the screen goes blank and after about 10 or so 
seconds a blank dialog box pops up and then I have to kill the frontend 
to get out.
Here is my setup:

Gentoo 1.4
Athlon XP 2400
Hauppauge PVR-250
GeForce 4 440 MX for TV-out

I have verified that the backend is running and all other modules 
(mythweather, mythmusic, mythgallery) seem to work fine although mythweb 
fails when I connect questioning whether the backend is running (which 
it is). Here are the verbose logs.
