[mythtv-users] Blank screen in Mythtv - No TV

I have got everything working in MythTV except the TV (ironic huh!)
I am using a WinTV Nova-T-500 Dual DVB-T PCI card and have it working fine
under Kaffeine which is cool but want to setup the PC as a HTPC system so
need to get mythtv going.
Picks up the DVB card fine (both adapters) everything looks sweet in the
mythtv-setup config.
Also mythtv scans and picks up the channels when I enter in the right
transports and dumps them to the DB (cheked it with phpmyadmin) but not sure
it's dumping all the info i.e. PIDS (is it not suppose to?).
Have also picked up all the Muxs from my local tv transmitter using
dvb-utils on the cli.
For those interested, I used the Video for Linux DVB cvs:
v4l-dvb-819e9e95a5f1 from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb and firmware
dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw.
Backend seems to be working ok as I can do a mythfilldatabase ok and it gets
the latest EPG.
I don't think it is a permissions problem as I have tried running with root
and as normal user (and combi's)

The errors I get are:

Backend:

2006-10-14 21:50:17.263 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2006-10-14 21:50:17.284 DVB#0 Recorder: Card opened successfully (using PS

I have also tried adding in the PIDS manually but does not make any
difference :(

Any help would be really appreciated!

P.S. Running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 (up to date with patches etc)

Kind regards
