[mythtv-users] xawtv / motv show blue, mythtv shows green static

I had the blue screen problem because I was just running "xawtv". When I ran 
it as "xawtv -device /dev/video0" it all started coming together. Basically 
xawtv is sending your output to somewhere else which is why you're just 
seeing a blue screen.

Regards,
Phill
