[mythtv-users] Problem in watching 'live tv' in mythtv under ubuntu 7.10

[Meryl Silverburgh]

Hi,

I am trying to setup mythtv to watch live tv under ubuntu 7.10.

When I go to watch 'live -tv' in mythtv frontend, I get a blank screen.

After reviewing the mythtv-frontend log, I still can't figure out what
is missing.

Can you please tell me how can i resolve my problem?  Note: I am able
to see video in my environment when I use 'Tvtime', so I assume I have
the drivers/firmware setup correctly in my environment.

Thank you for any help.
