I notice the screen has no device node specified. So just to ask the simple question before we look further: Have you tried specifying /dev/video0 or /dev/video1 or etc. for video device? If you have, does the device node have the proper permissions on it? I have mine setup like this as the mythbackend isn't running as root on my machine: $ ls -al /dev/video* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2008-06-17 06:17 /dev/video -> video0 crw-rw----+ 1 andy mythtv 81, 0 2008-06-17 06:17 /dev/video0 crw-rw----+ 1 andy mythtv 81, 1 2008-06-17 06:17 /dev/video1 crw-rw----+ 1 andy mythtv 81, 24 2008-06-17 06:17 /dev/video24 crw-rw----+ 1 andy mythtv 81, 25 2008-06-17 06:17 /dev/video25 crw-rw----+ 1 andy mythtv 81, 32 2008-06-17 06:17 /dev/video32 crw-rw----+ 1 andy mythtv 81, 33 2008-06-17 06:17 /dev/video33 The even numbered nodes are my ivtv/PVR-150, the odd numbered nodes are my cx18/HVR-1600. If all that's good, what do the error messages mythtv-setup outputs to the terminal screen say?
