Hello, i'm trying to get myth to work, and I think that i am aamost
there, but i seem to have one last problem; TV watching dosen't work.
Whenever i try to watch tv i get a blank screen, and i know it is not
a tuner problem because tvtime works fine. I am using mythtv 0.15
under progeny debian unstable, and whenever i try to watch tv my
backend terminal gives me this message:
Starting up as the master server.

And the frontend says this in a continuous loop:

QSocketDevice::writeBlock: Invalid socket

Remote encoder not responding.

I really want to get this working, and any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
