[mythtv-users] LiveTV not working

Listers,

Having gone through the entire setup procedure now, I'm pretty sure that the
PVR-150 and the nVidia Geforce 6200 work quite well. In fact, I can watch TV
using "mplayer /dev/video0".

I ran mythfilldatabase --manual (I'm in the Netherlands) and I can see that it
added to the channel table in the mythconverg database. Actually, most of 'm
are double entries now because I scanned the cabe before successfully. I even
have a program albeit with ugly names.

However, when I want to merely watch TV, the screen goes black, I hear a
"thud" from the audio output ... and after a while I'm returned to the menu.
The log says stuff like:

2006-10-11 21:06:31.642 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5)

2006-10-11 21:07:12.146 TV: Deleting TV Chain in destructor
2006-10-11 21:07:12.150 DPMS Reactivated.

OK, the line about the recorder figures; I want to start watching LiveTV first
so haven't done anything with recording yet. But I can't see what else is wrong.

Ideas anyone???

Michel.
