I have searched the archives and googled this topic to no avail.

When I select "Watch Live TV" from the main menu.
* the screen goes blank
* sometimes I hear a brief time of audio then it stops
* X consumes 98% of cpu
* the keyboard / mouse is unresponsive
* both backend and front end continue to run.
* I can still ssh in and recover by doing "init 3", "init 5"

/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log (these lines are written when I go into Live 
TV)
.

Hiya Bob,

I've had this before on a new install, and it was with a Nova-T. I remember 
it killing me for a while, unti I realised I'd made a stupid mistake.
I just can't remember what it was, if I come up with anything I'll let you 
know, but otherwise, check *everything* a dozen or so times!

Sorry I can't be of my help,

Steve Daniels
