[mythtv-users] PCHD3000 - Blank Screen when trying to watch live tv

Ok...
 I got the card installed (pcHDTV HD-3000)
Got the firmware in the right place
I downloaded the cvs version of dvb-apps and compiled it.
Can tune with azap and watch in mplayer (but not xine, it always 
complains about the last entry in my channels.conf)
Tried watching live tv and all I get is a blank screen.
Dug down into that and found that it couldn't read ringbuf1.nuv. After 
searching google for an hour I ran across taking a look at the output 
from mythbackend which is as follows...

I searched on the DVB#0 ERROR fields and didn't run across anyting 
particulary useful. Channel 3 is a real channel here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I would like to get xine 
working.. the error output is:
"There is no input plugin available for 'dvb://<last entry in 
channels.conf>"

Thanks,
Richard
