[mythtv-users] DVB-T LiveTV not working since update to SVN

Hi,

I was experiencing the dreaded prebuffering pause problems with 0.18.1 
so after talking with a couple of other guys in the #mythtv-users IRC 
channel I updated to SVN 8577.  If this means I should go to the dev 
list, please let me know.

Since the update was performed, LiveTV has stopped working.  I've had a 
look through the archives and found one person posting that the same 
happened to them and that is was fixed last month sometime.  Symptoms 
are that selecting Watch TV just puts a black screen up and I can only 
get out by killing mythfrontend and restarting it.  Recording still 
works fine.  Any ideas would be more than welcome!

The system is an Epia M10000 with a Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T card.  The 
same thing happens when either Via XvMC or standard is selected and XvMC 
works fine under 0.18.1.  Here's the output from mythfrontend when Watch 
TV is selected:
