My firewire connection stopped working two days ago and it seems to be
something in Myth causing the problem. I can capture using test-mpeg2
and playback find using mplayer. If I try to view or record HD through
Myth I either get a completely blank screen or it is just a bunch of
horizontal lines with lots of black space in between. Here is what the
frontend says when I tried to view HD and saw a black screen:<br>

Any ideas what is going on? I added a second SA3250HD cable box but
that has been working for about 2 weeks. I did open the mythtv-setup
program but I didn't make any changes. I just looked around related to
changing channels on both boxes. I just upgraded to the latest release
hoping that might help but I still have the same problem. Thanks for
any help<br>
