[mythtv-users] mythtvsetup hangs

Hi Geoff

The problem is that I get a complete system hang before I can get to the end
of the "general ' option in Mythtvsetup.

Typically, I can enter things like the IP address, location of the
recordings, broadcast std, etc, but at that point it has always 'frozen' -
cannot switch to other applications - only rebooting (via the power button)
seems to do anything.

How should the tuner show up in /dev?

Cheers,
Jon
