Hi.
I am currently have problems with my mythtv its a fresh install and i am 
just starting to experiment with mythtv i have'nt tested setting up a 
show to be recorded i have only tryed to "Watch TV".

The problem is i don't get anything to appear i get a nice blank black 
screen
I know that its not my TV Card as i have tried several ways of testing 
with a simple "scandvd" and i started to get a listing of channel 
available in my area i then went on to "tzap" a channel and then
"cp /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 bob.mpeg"  and i had a nice video of my TV 
station sitting there which worked i just cant seem to get MythTv to 
work with the device it the only device in the machine every time i try 
to start up "Watch TV" i get theses messages from my backend
