Actually, I ran it with my ordinary account. But I started mythsetup 
again, and in the Input connection I changed all the Video sources from 
(None) to "cable", which is the name I have used for my .mythtv/xmltv 
settings. After restarting the mythbackend, I still get the same black 
screen with "1: composite 0".

At the age of 52, my hair is still thick, albeit rather grey. However, 
if I don't get MythTV up and running soon, my wife will probably start 
tearing it out as I've raised rather high expectations about the super 
multimedia box on which I've been spending quite a lot of money lately.

Here is the latest output from both ends:
