Hello everyone, new user here. <span class="gmail_quote"></span>I have set up a Mythtv box running Mandriva 2007 and using a Hauppage PVR 350 capture card. I have my cable line running directly into the tv input on the card. The card appears to initialize properly upon boot (see below). I can run cat /dev/video0 >
test.mpg and watch good video/audio in kafffeine. In Mythtv I can connect to the backend database, run mythfilldatabase and scan channels for Tuner 1. When I try to watch tv or record a program all I get is a black screen. The watch tv option goes black for three seconds and then exits. I am using a 20" flat panel monitor that the computer is plugged directly into. I can see the desktop on the monitor and would like to watch tv on top of kde (not using tv out). When I pick something out of the channel guide it records but mythtv says that it doesn't exist in the play back screens. I can see the video in the /home/recordings directory. Very strange. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before?
What am I doing wrong? I appreciate any suggestions.<br><br>[root@mythtv douglas]# dmesg | grep ivtv<br>ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================<br>ivtv: version 0.7.0 (tagged release) loading<br>
