[mythtv-users] PVR250 No video and no lirc remote

I had a feeling something was messed up in the Capture cards or Input
Connections sections. Still no luck. Now, when I select "Watch TV", I
get a blank screen and then I cannot exit. I have to kill the
mythfrontend process in order to exit. ESC doesn't do anything.
Here are my settings...
Capture card:
/dev/video0
/dev/vbi
/dev/dsp
Audio Sampling: none
Default Input: Tuner0 (Is this right?)
Card Type: Standard V4L or MJPEG capture Card ( I tried other types
as well but no luck)
Input Devices:
Capture Device: /dev/video0
Input: Tuner0
Video Source: comcast
Anything wrong here??
Thanks again,
Jim
