myth-tv installed, it seems (it looks) like everything is okay. And
everything seems to work fine until I try to watch Live TV. When I
start it, the screen goes black for about 10-15 sec, then returns to
the menu. I can't figure out what's wrong. After searching around and
following different advice, I tried running the frontend log. But I
don't know what it means. I would really appreciate help to get my
Myth-tv working. I also have Hauppauge 950Q (a USB device) . Here is

I've had this problem when permissions/ownership of recording
directories wasn't set correctly. Also during my last install the
recording directory wasn't what I assumed it would be and it didn't
exist. I'd go into the backend and verify the location of the recording
directories and then verify existence/ownership/permissions of those
directories. <br>
