[mythtv-users] livetv DirectFB errors with PVR350

Hi

I got exactly the same error - viewing the TV image via mplayer and 
ptune works fine, as does mythfrontend - until that is I try to watch 
live TV.

I'm using a K6II 500 CPU and a PVR-350 and I was wondering if that was 
perhaps going to cause problems with mythtv. I'll get a proper dump of 
the error this evening and will post it up.

Jarod did you ever get anywhere with figuring this out ? Or does anyone 
else have any ideas ?

Regards

Simon Alman
