[mythtv-users] 'Watch TV' goes to black then back to menu

[Barkha]

I need some help with my setup. After struglling to get myth-tv installed,
it seems (it looks) like everything is okay. And everything seems to work
fine until I try to watch Live TV. When I start it, the screen goes black
for about 10-15 sec, then returns to the menu. I can't figure out what's
wrong. After searching around and following different advice, I tried
running the frontend log. But I don't know what it means. I would really
appreciate help to get my Myth-tv working. I also have Hauppauge 950Q (a USB
device) .  Here is frontend.log printout :
