As Chad said, you'll need to run myth-setup again. Under<br>> "Video Cards" change your card's (/dev/video1) default input to S-Video or<br>> Composite. Then under the "Input" section, make sure you have correctly<br>> mapped your "Video Source" to your desired input. It will probably look<br>> something like :<br>> <br>> /dev/video1 -> S-Video -> <Name of Video Source><br>> /dev/video1 -> Composite -> <Name of Video Source><br>> <br>> if you don't have the input mapped to a source, it won't appear as an input<br>> in MythTV. The mistake i kept making was i'd have the default input set to<br>> something other than what i had the input mapped to, which would just leave<br>> me with an unselectable input or just a blank screen (depending on the<br>> setup).
