. I am trying to use the analog functions of this card by the way. The one =
thing I am unsure about is whether to use Composite 1 or Composite 2 when c=
onfiguring my Capture Card setting. Composite 1 yields a black screen while=
 Composite 2 produces a grey screen.

I have tried to execute:

cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg
mplayer /tmp/test.mpg

but this doesn't work. It yields a grey screen much like when I use Composi=
te 2 within MythTV. Only when I execute:

modprobe -r cx18
modprobe cx18

can I produce a test mpeg file that has audio and video. Knowing this, I ha=
ve created the following script and set MythTV to execute it on starting th=
e backend:

-- script start --=20
#!/bin/bash

function tune {
        cat $1 > /tmp/temp.mpg &
        pid=3D$!
        sleep 1
        kill $pid
        rm -f /tmp/temp.mpg
}

modprobe -r cx18
#modprobe cx18 debug=3D32
modprobe cx18

tune /dev/video0
-- script end --

Still, I do not achieve the desired results. I have set /live as my default=
 LiveTV directory. There are indeed some temporary files that are being pro=
duced when I try to watch live TV but when I view them with mplayer, they a=
re also grey.

Here is the dmesg out I am getting upon boot:
