I did set up my mythtv correctly when I originally installed 0.11. All
I know is that under both 0.10 and 0.11, any time that I would use
xawtv, if I closed xawtv with bad settings loaded (incorrect audio
mode, wrong color system, volume set too loud), those bad settings
would show up in mythtv until I launched xawtv and corrected the
settings. I never thought to try running the myth setup program again,
so I don't know if running the myth setup program again would fix the
problem or not. It may have something to do with how my 5 year old STB
TV tuner or its driver handles settings. I don't know why what I did
worked for me. Maybe it won't work for anyone else out there. But all
I know is that it fixed my problem, so I'm happy.<br>

If you have the same problem, make sure to set the correct audio mode,
color system, etc in xawtv before closing it. Otherwise, you will find
that mythtv is trying to run with the PAL color system.

Um, not quite. If you set your tuner up correctly in MythTV's setup
utility, MythTV should always use what you've specified in there. Among
the things you're supposed to specify are TV format (set it to NTSC, in
your case) and channel frequency table (likely either us-bcast or
us-cable, for those in the US). MythTV has no reliance on your xawtv
settings. I never even used xawtv on my system...

mplayer works with both hardware encoder cards and vanilla tv tuner
cards; you just have to throw it different switches.
