to use it to set up a second Myth frontend machine.  Its attached to
only a monitor in the office and when I go to watch live TV, or watch a
previously recorded show, I get sound but the screen just goes to a
solid blue.

video.  The log messages from Myth all look perfectly normal, Xv is
working, etc...So I'm not sure what I'm missing.  I'm running Myth from
CVS.  The Gentoo machine has CVS from just a couple days ago....but the
Backend machine is coming up on 2 weeks old now.  I know in a perfect
world they should match, I just haven't had the time to update
everything.  I wouldn't think that would cause my video issue, but could
that be it?  I already have 2 other boxes running Myth without issue
(both using RH9), but with RH dropping support I was starting to
experiment with alternatives.  I've liked Gentoo a lot so far, but I
need to get this issue cleaned up.  Anybody seen this before?

I don't know if this is related to your problem, but I figured I'd throw
it out there. I am using gentoo as well, and I was struggling with the
myth stuff for quite a while. Recently while search the gentoo
forums(forums.gentoo.org) I came across a number of people that had
problems with myth >0.12 running properly. I downgraded to 0.12 and my
problems disappeared. Like I said, this may not be related but take it
for what its worth. FWIW. YMMV. IANAL. :)
