[mythtv-users] xawtv / motv show blue, mythtv shows green static

[David Whyte]

Courtland, did you ever suss this out?  I am having similar issues
with my DVB-T card I think.  I just see a blue screen in xawtv.  I
don't know what this stuff is with "channels" but I have seen on the
web these huge files with config data in them.  Do you need that to
get BTTV running?

I just wish I could see something to let me know I am getting closer :(

Dave
