[mythtv-users] Watching Live TV only plays for 1 second

[James Grant]

Hi, I know there was a thread on this list a few weeks ago about this exact 
topic... i've read it several times looking for an answer, but no luck!

Its happening to me :(
my capture card is the PVR-350

recording and playback works perfectly, but soon as i select 'watch tv' it 
plays for about 1 second then stops... ive tried everythign suggested in that 
other thread..

1) turned on real time threads
2) run both backend and frontend as root

Heres the output from mythfrontend... it stops at the "prebuffering pause" and 
after about 5-8 seconds it dumps the rest of the output and goes back to the 
menu.  the ringbuffer cache file is being created, and continues to grow for 
those 8 seconds, until it goes back to the menu then the cache is deleted.

Any help/ideas/suggestions would be appreciated --- this is starting to drive 
me nuts!
