[mythtv-users] bttv + mythtv

Hi List!
I'm trying to set up Mythtv and I'm having all kinds of different  
trouble.
But now it seems to be close.

I have a Ubuntu dapper Drake machine with a bttv card.

I can run scantv, and get it to show channels.
I once got Xawtv to run, and show tv
I do NOT get Mythtv to show anything but a green picture.
I have xmltv running, and I get EPG-info as I should
I ALWAYS get a good tv picture by running 'mplayer -tv driver=v4l2   
tv://E11'
(I'm in Sweden)
I made a channel-search within mythtv-setup, and it ran fine.( 3rd or  
4th screen I think)

Now, where do I look for the cause that watching livetv shows only a  
green screen?
(When I change channel, I get the correct logo for the new channel on  
top of this green screen...)

Is that mplayer running in the backgground as well, when playing livetv?

Or, is it just the fact that I really do not have anything tuned in,  
eventhough i get the correct channellogo?

some excerp from dmesg
