Band can play KQED and the 3 of us cannot.  I have updated my system
to myth version 18161, which is the same version that Brad has.  The
other difference is that my setup shows that I am using some modules
that Brad is not:
using_arts
using_firewire
using_libavc_5_3
using_lirc
using_opengl_video
using_xvmc_vld

Does anyone have an idea why I cannot play just these KQED signals
(the experiment of after 5PM didn't work).  Btw, I can play the KQED
shows with live TV, I can record them and play with mplayer, but I
cannot play with myth.

If I look at mythweb, it is so clear as ALL the KQED shows from 8/16
to today have blank previews and all other shows have previews. The
ones without previews will not play in myth.

Anyone???
