Hi Nick,
   My Dad's machine is having a similar problem. I've tried deleting
the existing PVR-150 card in mythtv-setup and then creating a new
card. Same problem.

   I have tested the PVR-150 using ivtv-tune and cat
/dev/v4l/video0>test.mpg. I can tune to any channel, record it for
5-10 seconds and play it in mplayer. all looks good so this seems to
be a MythTV issue.

   Were there any restarts required? mythbackend or mysql?

   When I try to watch live TV it plays 1 second of video with audio,
then freezes for about 15 second. It then returns to a Myth screen
that says:

Error was encountered while displaying video.

The log file doesn't say much, unless it's the last line:

   I'd really like to solve this today as I got here yesterday and
leave early tomorrow morning.

Thanks,
Mark
