[mythtv-users] Noob needs assist -- can't get all channels, for starters

Well, I made adjustments and that seemed to help--I retrieved the channels.
But when I went to watch tv, the screen blackens temporarily then goes back
to the main menu.

I chose 'uscable'  (although the instructions indicated leave on 'default,'
but that wasn't getting me anywhere), but I noticed there were several types
of cable--
us cable, us cable-hrc, and us cable-irc.  I chose us cable.  I have no idea
what the other two types are about.  Could this be the reason that I am not
now getting anything?

And the window that it is in now is still large. Doesn't seem to be a way to
resize the screen once it is opened.
