Well, no I have it in reverse: with X (and Myth) the picture is running
through and when I blindly press return twice => Watch TV I get live TV just
fine.
Wat I have changed is that I included pal=1 in /etc/modules.conf line:
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0 pal=1
When I stop liv TV and return to the menu that is fine too...

Without the pal=1 X is fine, but live TV is not.

I really do not understand this - can somebody explain this to me????

Cheers,
Marc
