So, now I have my MythTv ( v0.20 ) + MySQL + Schedule Direct ( TV
Listing ) and all other stuff installed. Mythtv has detected by
PVR-500 and I've setup its two tuner cards using mythtv-setup.
I can watch TV without any problems by issuing the following command :
$ mplayer /dev/video0
However, when I try to watch Live-TV through MythTV; the TV screen
goes blank and I cannot "Esc" out of it (had to reboot). To figure out
what's happening I tried "tail -f /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log" (
the only log file present there ) but there were no logs spitted out
after I started the `Watch-Live-TV` mode and TV blanked out ( although
SSH connection was working fine ).
Since, I can watch TV without any problems on MPlayer; I doubt if its
a hardware problem anymore...
Stuck Again :-P
