So I spoke a bit too soon. For whatever reason it started working in Myth, although I still can't get a good cat /dev/video1. BUt I can't change the channel. When I try and change the channel Mythfrontend reports an error and the exits back to the menu. When I go back into livetv it is on the same original channel and there is no audio. If I exit out and go back in I get audio back, but still can;t change the channel. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
