[mythtv-users] Blank Screen when trying to view TV

Mon Aug 21 00:11:26 UTC 2006

Hello everyone!  I am having an issue getting TV to work on my Myth box.  
Basically the screen goes to black and then a few seconds later it comes back 
to the main menu.  Sadly I've gotten just about everything else working on 
the box.  LIRC is working great, I can view all my videos, the channel guide 
seems to be updating properly, etc...  
Today I set a test recording just to see what I would get.  Here are some of 
the errors from the log.  It created a file, but there isn't anything in it.  
I know the tuner is working because I have done channel scans and watched TV 
with tvtime.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

Myth Box:
Athlon 64 x2
Myth .19
Fedora Core 5
pcHDTV HD5500
NVIDIA 7600
