I have the same issue when I try and watch HDTV on my intel motherboard's built in card.  However, if I have the backend and frontend started from a terminal windows I see a TON of errors?  Something along the lines of resource not avail.  Do you get errors?

Hello All,

I have been trying to fix this problem for a while now but have yet to
come up with a solution. I recently upgraded my machine to an Intel Core
Duo 2 with a Geforce 8800GTS graphics card. For this card to work under
Linux I need to use the latest nvidia proprietary drivers (version
9746). However, in mythtv, whenever I try to watch tv or watch a
recording all I get is a blank screen. I can hear the audio from the
recording, but no picture.

This does not occur with mplayer, which can play video files (even
mythtv recorded files) just fine.

I am using Fedora Core 6 with the latest atrpms packages.

The mythtv backend runs on a separate system.

I have played around with the settings in setup, turning anti-aliasing
off, using opengl etc. but nothing helped. Tried a few xorg.conf options
as well without success.

I am completely out of ideas so if anybody can help it will be greatly
appreciated.

Here is the log from mythfrontend. The part that concerns me is the "X
Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8" line.
