Hi<br><br>I am running Mythtv 0.21 with seperate front and back ends. When i try to watch tv using my frontend computer it starts playing with a black screen. the on screen display shows the channel number and name and then stops after about 5 seconds.<br>

<br>The backend log output is below:<br><br>How can I fix this?<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Tim<br><br>2009-08-29 16:31:45.921 Connected to database &#39;mythconverg&#39; at host: 192.168.1.4<br>2009-08-29 16:31:45.924 Closing DB connection named &#39;DBManager0&#39;<br>
