[mythtv-users] can't watch live tv, record static

Yes, it is /video/buffer.  After some more playing around with it, I
do get video for a few seconds and then the screen goes blue.  Here is
what the terminal says:

2005-09-12 23:45:44.678 prebuffering pause
2005-09-12 23:46:03.941 ReadStringList timeout (quick).

It just kicks out of tv mode back to the main mythtv menu.  Is this a
hard disk issue, perhaps?
