[mythtv] Progress: Different error message

[James D. Bearden]

Hey! Even more progress! 

Hitting keys at random whilst watching the (blank) mythtv I happened to 
stumble accross the c key. I hit it a couple times an lo and behold I am 
watching television!!! No sound and the video is very choppy, but a vast 
improvement over a blank screen! I had noticed that MythTV seems to expect 
source names like Television, S-Video and Composite when my (G200) video 
sources show up in XawTV as television, composite, and svideo. I think this 
is causing problems. Is there a way I can tell MythTV to start with 
television instead of Television? 

Now I need to try the CVS version and get MJPEG support to speed things up a 
bit. You would think a PIII 866 (hdparm checks out) would do a better job. 
Then I get to wrestle with the audio if it is still hosed. Actually, if I 
don't run XawTV when I boot up I get (choppy) audio with mythtv the first 
time I run it. Always when I exit mythtv I have to reboot the computer to 
get audio back for xawtv or mythtv.
