Have you set `/usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 4`?  With my MythTV, FC3, PVR-350 machine
this is necessary.  Though since you have video running I assume this is
correct.  However, it is possible to not set -p 4 and use the ptune-ui.pl
script to do this manually I think.

Hi all,
     I've been going round and round with this issue and am out of
ideas.  I am trying to get MythTV to work with a Hauppauge WinTV
PVR-350, Fedora Core 3, 2.6.10-1.766_FC3.  The IVTV drivers appear
fine, I can get a video signal in and play it out into a TV just fine
and change channels with the ptune-ui.pl module.
     I'm having a little trouble getting MythTV to start up.  I get it
running and when I select "watch tv", I get a blank screen.  When I
try to record a show, it appears to attempt to do so but I get the
following in the mythbackend.log:
     My mythtv version is 0.17-48.
     I have a registration on zap2it.com and I get the listings
downloaded with mythfilldatabase.  Front end and back end are on same
system.
     I'm not quite a linux expert but have a good working knowledge of
unix/linux operating systems - I'm more or less doing this as a
learning experience.
