[mythtv-users] FC5, MythTV, & PVR-350

[Kevin J. Cummings]

OK, I've solved my ivtv problem, and I've solved my .mpg audio problem.

I can now play video via:	mplayer /dev/video
I can now change channels with:	ivtv-tune

I'm now moving back to my next step configuring and running MythTV.

I've run mythtvsetup, and I think I've configured everything I need
right.  I have a valid zap2it account, and I can successfully run
mythfilldatabase afterwards.  mythbackend runs OK, and I have lircd
running (I used the remote control with the setup program, and with
mythfrontend).  OK, so I run mythfrontend.  Up (eventually) comes the
main screen.  I select Watch LiveTV, and it returns me unceremoniously
to ... the main screen.

Here are the mythfrontend and mythbackend outputs from this attempt:

mythbackend:

Can someone please shed some light on what I screwed up?  Did I miss
something in the initial setup?  Thanks!
