Hey All,<BR>
<BR>
Well I've always been a big fan of MythTV, but I've yet to get it working properly...! <BR>
<BR>
I've tried two different capture cards and I get the same problem now I figure it must be something I just don't understand this is why I'm begging for help:<BR>
<BR>
Hardware:<BR>
<BR>
MediaReady 5000<BR>
Via 1G CPU<BR>
VIA S3 Unichrome w/tvOut<BR>
PVR 150<BR>
<BR>
Software:<BR>
<BR>
Ubuntu 5.04<BR>
ivtv 0.38<BR>
mythtb 0.18.1<BR>
<BR>
Here's what I know:<BR>
<BR>
ivtv works, mplayer /dev/outputs video and ptune.pl allows me to change channels. Not sure about the sound yet I have got that far.<BR>
I can play movies with mythvideo.<BR>
<BR>
I configure mythtv-setup with the following<BR>
<BR>
-capture card v4l<BR>
<BR>
/dev/video0<BR>
/dev/dsp<BR>
/dev/vbi0<BR>
tuner 0<BR>
<BR>
- Configured Video Source starchoice (zapt2it)<BR>
<BR>
- Configured input Connnection<BR>
/dev/video0 --> Tuner0<BR>
<BR>
When I start Livetv I just get a blanck screen with the following in my mythbackend.log:<BR>
