thanks, I did that and for a while I even got a picture. 

Without usin mythfilldatabase I really got the picture seen. I could record
for some time. Then I switched to watch TV, and could even see that for some
time also. Then I started changing channels with arrow keys from keyboard,
and the thing got stuck again. Now it doesn't record or show the TV.
I restarted the backend, and this is what I get:

It seems like certain channels would cause problems. If I record from one
channel it works, but if I try recording some other channels i end up getting
no data from card -messages.

I get around it by recording only some channels and not trying to watch the
TV. It starts with the channel that gets mythtv stuck. I need now figure out
which channels are the trouble makers. I can see all channels with xine for
example.
