I would prefer to leave it in my office and not have it sitting in my living room, but I suppose I could put it behind a plant or something.

to call this a hardware failure as it seems <br>the OP has never gotten it working. Therefore, I'd put in a vote for <br>configuration error. Of course, without the right information:<br><br>tac /var/log/messages |<br>sed -n '/=\ \ END INIT IVTV\ \ =/,/= START INIT IVTV =/p;<br> /= START INIT IVTV =/q' |<br>tac<br><br>I can't tell what that configuration error is...<br><br>Mike<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br>mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br>http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users<br></peteoutside@yahoo.com></blockquote><br><p>
