[mythtv-users] My myth display is on acid

[Joe Silver]

I'm not too sure about why mythfrontend is whacky looking,.  just for
giggles, did you try running the frontend as root?  as far as watching
livetv, are you sure that you have the PVR-150 card setup right in
mythtvsetup?  i tried to set it up as a v4l capture card instead of a mpeg
card and it freaked out on my similarly.  just a couple of things to try.
