[mythtv-users] DVB-T not working on FC4, x86_64

[Graeme Hilton]

I'm having problems getting my DVB-T card to display in MythTV.

It works using mplayer from the command line, but MythTV displays a
black screen for about 15 seconds and produces the error messages I list
at the end of this email.

Has anyone experienced this?  What causes this error?  Can I fix it?

Also, when I watch DVB using mplayer, the audio goes progressively out
of sync over a few minutes.  Is this an audio sampling rate problem, or
is it something more involved?

Thanks for any answers you can give.
