Hello list,

This  is  my  first  post  so please bear with me if I'm not following
proper etiquette. I'm installing my first Mythtv setup, every thing is
going  well,  but I'm having trouble with the watching TV feature, I'm
assuming  the same problem for recording. I get video and audio when I
do  mplayer  -vo  xv  /dev/video0. When I run the front end and select
watch TV I capture this from the console.

                        Did you load the ivtv-fb Linux kernel module?

Mythtv   tells   me  it  could  not  initialize.  So  naturally  I  do
#/sbin/modprobe  ivtv-fb. I get no feed back on the command prompt, so
it  appears  to have worked OK. Then when I run the front end, I get a
black screen and no audio. I capture this from the console.

My  basic  setup is fairly basic. 1.8g P4 512MB RAM with front end and
back  end  on  the  same  machine.  Running  Fedora Core 6 with Mythtv
install  from  http://www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php,  so  RPM for
most  all of the install rather then compiling on my own. Here is some
info from the machine after a reboot, so no ivtv-fb extra's.
