[mythtv-users] Please help me fix my MythTV...

[Robert La Ferla]

Dear MythTV experts,

Please help me get MythTV running.   I am running Fedora Core 3.  I have 
the pcHDTV HD-3000 tuner card and a nForce motherboard.  When I select 
"Watch TV", I get a black screen or sometimes a blurry image but it 
locks up so I can't change channels or do anything.

Below is a log from when I start the backend and the frontend.  There 
are several error messages that appear.

Thanks in advance.
