Hmm that's interesting - so I'm wondering if I've actually got my VCR connected via the RF lead to the tuner input at the moment? I definately have used the S-Video input in the past though, because I had to connect the audio in separately. I suggest looking to see what other /dev/video devices exist on your system, and trying them in place of /dev/video0. I think one of the setup pages of mythtvsetup shows you which input is on which device. I'm afraid I don't know enough of the theory to suggest a more scientific approach. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
