All is WORKING NOW!
Gosh, I'm not so sure what I did. I was mucking around with the .ivtvrc
file in myth's home directory...
[defaults]
MSPSleep=2
Frequency=
VideoDevice=/dev/video0
MSPOutput=1
FrequencyTable=ntsc-cable
TunerNum=0
Channel=9
Debug=0
MSPInput=3
SetMSPMatrix=1
I first changed the Debug to 9 to see if I can get some debug messages.
Also I set the Channel to 9. There was nothing there originally.
I'm not so sure if this would matter, but I still am not sure what the
hell I did to make it work. All the setting are as I described earlier.
Thanks for the help. It definitely made this work, as I spent more time
working on this.
