I agree things seem to be related to Myth, but I was hoping that some of
the admin folks involved with both projects may be able to help.  I have
done as you say and tested the card by playing directly with mplayer:
mplayer /dev/video0
It worked fine.  Take note that I'm setting up this myth version on a new
distro install and I have started from scratch if you will.  Many times I
have tried deleting the cards and started over.  Interestingly the channel
detection appears to go smooth, but I can't view anything on screen.

What about the patch related to mythtv, kernel 2.6.22, and IVTV?  Is it
only for using the PVR's TV out or would it apply to a monitor situation
as well?

Thx!
Scott
