Try using the computer with a VGA or DVI monitor first. If that works you know it is the PVR-350 card (which most likely it is)<br><br>Mitchell<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/3/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

Hi everyone,<br><br>Apologies if you have seen this on the ivtv list... After being a big<br>fan of MythTV for months on Fedora Core 4, I decided it was time to<br>upgrade to Fedora Core 6 (actually a fresh install). Most of my
<br>settings, database info, etc. have been migrated properly, and<br>everything is working, except for watching recorded programs. When I<br>press play, sometimes I see a flash of the program followed by a black<br>screen, most of the time just a black screen. Audio is fine. I have
<br>been searching around for several days now, and this seems to be a<br>common problem. The IVTV Howto recommends the following in<br>/etc/modprobe.conf:<br><br>options ivtv-fb osd_compat=1<br><br>This does not work for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I
<br>noticed that if I minimize mythfrontend, I can see the video image<br>"bleeding through" the icons on the desktop, the taskbar, etc. Is<br>there any way I can take advantage of that as a workaround?<br><br>Please help. My family is abandoning MythTV for the VCR. :-(
