If I remember right, before .19 I was not which capture card type to choose when running through the capture card setup.  Under .19 I didn't have any questions about choosing the correct type.  It is labels for both capture card definitions as "MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50, PVR-500)"  Once that is selected I can define the video device which is "/dev/video0" or "/dev/video1" and set the Default Input to "Tuner".

in the console window I used to launch mythfrontend I have the following messages:

This last line about the image file is the closest I see to an error.  I would like to know how to fix this, but is very low on my priority list right now.

As for logs running the following shows I have two logs the one that may show important messages has not been written to in quite some time:
locate myth*.log
/var/log/mythtv/mythfilldatabase.log
/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log
ls -ltr /var/log/mythtv
total 32
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  1962 Nov  5 22:46 mythfrontend.log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 24882 Mar 26 03:21 mythfilldatabase.log

Woah.. pasted this in here I noticed both are owned by root.  I'm going to reset the log permissions and retest. After that still no updates to the mythfrontend.log.

What can I check next?
