[mythtv-users] LiveTV doesn't work

[Thomas Lann]

I'm running FC1 with one 350 card and using the TVout
of a nVidia MX440.

I can record programs and then watch them while they
are recording.  Or watch them after they are recording
but I can't watch live tv.

I start livetv and I just get a black screen,
mythfrontend freezes, and mythbackend dies.  I have to
kill the frontend and restart the backend.

I captured the error log from the frontend and it says

I get this in mythbackend.log 

ERROR opening file in ThreadedFileWriter.
/var/video/buffer/ringbuf1.nuv: No such file or
directory

I checked the permissions and made sure everyone had
read and write accesss.  But that didn't do anything.

I'm not sure where to go because there doesn't seem to
be a similiar problem in the archive.
