actually, I have 2 problems.  

1. I created a directory called "/var/log/mythtv", and made sure that mythtv 
has write permissions to it, and restarted several times, but still there are 
no logs there.  Sorry if this is a dumb question but: where are the mythtv logs 
supposed to be?

2. live tv is not working ... I get a blank screen for a few seconds and it 
returns to the menu.  This process seems to break the connection between the 
frontend and backend (i.e., If I try to do other things after attempting 
livetv, mythtv informs me that the backend is not running or is improperly 
configured ).   Everything else works great.  I've searched for other posts 
about this, but they seem to address much earlier versions of myth or are 
otherwise inapplicable (whole system crashes, for example).

my system: $ 200 wal mart box with ubuntu hoary, mythtv 0.18.1 compiled from 
source, PVR-250 [although live tv showed the same exact symptoms with a PVR-150 
installed]

If I can solve # 1, I'll send more information and hopefully solve problem # 2! 
thanks,
Mary
