[mythtv-users] Problem with watching live tv

[Allen Kemp]

Just setup my first mythbox using the Myth(tv)ology guide.  I'm using a 
3ghz p4, 1 gb of ram, 120gb hd, and a pvr250.  Frontend and backend are 
running on the same machine.  Pvr card works fine when just catting out 
video and watching it with mplayer.  Further, things are fine when i 
record a show through myth; however, when i try to watch live television 
through myth, i get approximately 1 second of video (and i think audio) 
and then it freezes, and the video closes.  The front end says (roughly) 
the following:
2005-06-25 03:45:37.455 prebuffering pause
2005-06-25 03:45:56.427 ReadStringList timeout (quick).
Remote encoder not responding.

2005-06-25 03:45:56.668 Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None
2005-06-25 03:45:56.698 Changing from None to None

I googled this, and although i've seen other people having (and 
seemingly getting past) the same issue, i'm not sure what to do.  I do 
know that if i record a few minutes of video through myth, and then 
watch live tv, things seem to work fine, although i haven't watched for 
more than 30 minutes yet.

Any information anyone has is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Allen
