[mythtv-users] Remote encoder not responding...

It seems like that trick doesn't work for me...

However, it is possible to watch old recordings, as well as record new
programs.
After I have recorded a program, LiveTV works until I reboot, then it
does not work until I record a program again.

Another problem that arise is that I changed video cards and now I get
inverted colors on my ATI Radeon card when displaying video with XV
output. Since I can dual boot FC1 and Ubuntu I first noticed it in FC1
but Ubuntu worked fine with mplayer etc. However, after I successfully
recorded a program and then switched to LiveTV, everything worked, but
the next time I watched LiveTV the colors where inverted, and even after
reboot the colors are inverted....??? Does anyone else seen this problem?
