[mythtv-users] WinTV-Theater Not Working

Hi gang,

I'm trying to set up a WinTV-Theater under myth but
I'm having issues.  When I try to watch tv all I get is
a black screen.  The console displays this message:

Unknown video codec: strange error flushing buffer .

I also get a bunch of these from the frontend:

Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!

The card is on /dev/video0 and works great in xawtv.
I have a pchdtv card in /dev/video1 / /dev/video32
but I haven't configured it yet.  I tried but failed
miserably.  I thought I'd start with something simpler.

This is using the latest Debian package at 

deb http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu:8088/~mdz/debian unstable mythtv

mythfrontend --version gives 0.13.12102003-1, as does the
backend.

Help?

                                        -Dave
