[mythtv-users] Nooby with serious problems

[Simon]

Hi,
I have two unrelated problems (I think) that need help.

I have setup my TV card OK, but when i try to run TV through mythtv, the 
screen goes blank, I can hear sound, and everything hangs (have to force 
reboot to restart).

Secondly, I am trying to fill in the program database manually as i live in 
Belgium.  I've pasted a section of the file i am trying to use with 

  <channel id="rtl-tvi">
    <icon src="http://www.teveblad.be/gfx/logos/RTL-TVI.gif">
    </icon>
    <display-name>rtl-tvi</display-name>
  </channel>
  <channel id="raiuno">
    <icon src="http://www.teveblad.be/gfx/logos/RAIUNO.gif">
    </icon>
    <display-name>raiuno</display-name>
  </channel>
  <programme start="200503030700 +0100" stop="200503030855 +0100" 
channel="france3">
    <title>France truc</title>
    <category>tekenfilm kind</category>
  </programme>
  <programme start="200503030600 +0100" stop="200503030700 +0100" 
channel="france3">
    <title>Euronews</title>
    <category>nieuws</category>
  </programme>
 
Then I have:

mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 /home/mythtv/guide.xml 2> /dev/null
[mythtv at living mythtv]$ mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 /home/mythtv/guide.xml 
2> /dev/null
