[mythtv-users] Blank screen on live tv with pvr 150

Does anyone have a hint for John? I've run into the same thing and would
love to hear any suggestions.
My PVR-350 *was* working fine, live tv, recording, and everything. I
tried to add an saa7133 based card which I am now going to give up on.
But now my PVR-350 gives a black screen when selecting 'Watch TV'.
I've removed and added the card several times in myth-setup. I have the
correct input selected -- I get video when doing the "cat /dev/video0 >
file.mpg" test.
Is there something I've missed in MythTV that I can reset or clear?
