[mythtv-users] Starting LiveTV with PVR-150 and 10.04 mythbuntu

[Conor Klecker]

I had everything with this hardware setup working great. Then I wanted to
add a HD-HR. Tried for awhile, but now the wife just wants her DVR back
working for upcoming shows. So I did a clean install, and I cannot get
LiveTV to display. I start it, I get a "please wait.." screen then goes back
to the main menu. I was getting a different error in the backend that told
me to change the recording profile sizes, so I did that, they are now
720x480. Still no dice.

This is the only mythtv box in my house, backend frontend combo.

When I playback directly from "Capture Devices", with VLC, everything works
great. What am I missing?
