[mythtv-users] PVR-350 and Live-TV not working

Thu Jan 21 01:50:07 UTC 2010

My log files are about 70KB for the front-end and backend combined.  I tried
to attach it to my original message, but it bounced, so I figured I would
just go without it.  In hindsight, that was a bad idea.  Anyway, attached
below are some excerpts from each of the logs.  Hopefully they hold what you
need.  Please let me know if anything else might help you to help me!

Here is an excerpt from the backend log:
