[mythtv-users] Installation report: ECS Liva doesn't boot after Debian Installation. What am I missing?

The UEFI thing caught me out initially too, but I worked it out in the end.

My Liva is running MythBuntu great!

One niggle I have got is that it seems to struggle if my projector is 
off when the Liva is turned on. When I do then turn the projector on, it 
can't find a signal. I think it's also lost the signal once or twice 
when the system has been left on and inactive for a while. Not much of a 
problem, but if anyone has found a fix for that I'd love to hear it!
