[mythtv-users] Problem watching Live TV

I seem to have develop a problem very recently.  I am not sure if it
definitely had anything to do with it, but I upgraded Myth packages
(via yum, atrpms).  It lets me watch and hear about a second of tv,
then freezes, screen goes black.  Already recoded video seems not to
be affected, and I can do basic captures (cat /dev/video).

I have been searching, and there seem to be numerous examples of
these, but I cannot seem to find anything that fits me just right.  I
am using an Nvidia 6600GT, with the most current binary drivers (8178,
though 8174 do not seem to work, either).  Am using FC4, most current
kernel (2.6.14-1.1656_FC4smp)

Here is some log info:
