[mythtv-users] resurecting mythtv

[Jim Bauer]

I had a disk fail in my mythtv box, so I am string to reinstall everything.
This also gave me an excuse to do some upgrades.

I have a PVR350 and a GeForce MX440.
linux 2.6.11
mythtv 0.18 (backend and frontend all on one box)
ivtv 0.2.0-rc3j

- I installed debian testing.  Upgraded to unstable.
- Installed the latest kernel and the ivtv driver.
- I was able (via dd) to get video so show up on
the TV (using the PVR's output).
- I got mythtv installed, and mythfilldatabase to run.
The program guide has stuff in it.
- I have not yet configured X for the TV display.

I went through all the mythtv-setup stuff and the setup in mythfronted,
but I cannot watch live TV.  When I try, I just get the following
errors in the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log file.  They just keep
repeating till  I stop the backend.
