[mythtv-users] Totally lost ...

[Casey K]

Hi everybody. Well I think MythTV looks really kewl and I would love to use
it only I can't get it to work and I'm totally lost. Everything I read on
message boards is just getting me more confused. Can anybody help me - like
walk me through how to get it working?

It seems like it's so close to working but when I go to "Watch Live TV" all
I get is a kind of test pattern with a "1" in the middle of the screen and
then after about 5 seconds it puts me back at the menu.

Here's the messages from mythbackend when I start that:
