anyone ever noticed that this garbled screen after watching a video in
mythtv only happens before the first time one has watched tv? once i
have watched tv for a second or so, the screen never gets garbled again
no matter how many videos i watch.

maybe that info can help someone fix that problem.

cheers, t.
