Hi,

I've been struggling a few days trying to make mythtv work with
my TT budget DVB card. Any help would be more than welcomed,
please give a DVB newbie a helping hand..

The card works OK with e.g. mplayer.

The problem is, that "watch TV" always just results in a black screen.

The trace output from the frontend looks OK (no errors).

Trace from the backend  is suspicious, though (see below).

Many thanks in advance & br,

Esa

P.S.
I'm running Fedora Core 2, with a stock 2.6.9 kernel
