[mythtv] getting closer...

hi all!

just pulled mythtv from cvs, and now (of course, hehe) it's working with 
tv_grab_de, so all my problems on this side have been resolved...

i'm using a hauppauge wintv pci-fm right now, and it works with zapping for 
example, so it shouldn't be a hardware issue...

setup ran fine, everything is tuned, the epg and everything works, except for 
watching tv...

when i call mythfrontend (mythbackend is running) and i navigate to "watch tv"
the whole frontend crashes, and calling mythtv standalone crashes too:

temp@mars temp $ mythfrontend
connecting to backend server: localhost:6543
adding: mars.dnsalias.org as a player
Connection timed out.
temp@mars temp $ mythtv
connecting to backend server: localhost:6543
adding: mars.dnsalias.org as a player
Connection timed out.

mythbackend starts with this output, which i guess is ok:

temp@mars temp $ mythbackend
Probed: /dev/video0 - Television
Probed: /dev/video0 - Composite1
Probed: /dev/video0 - S-Video
Probed: /dev/video0 - Composite3

is this a known problem? how can i debug this to find the error?
mythtv 0.7 is working fine (except for getting epg-data, and because of that i 
can't use it right now...), i get a picture (but can't switch channels due to 
missing channels).

bye, stephan
