What I would recommend, first of all, is to rule out setting up the tv-out. Pluag a monitor in to your video card, and take out the tv-out directions. That was, you can make sure it's ivtv that's giving you issues, and not the tv-out. Have you tried to record a bit of programming by dumping the video input to a file? Can you view this? To change channels on the tuner card for this procedure, use ptune.pl . To view the 350's TV-out on a TV, your TV should be set to an input, not a channel. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
