Thanks Steve for the words of encouragement. I would not be surprised if that was the case. I will continue to check and recheck.
The strange part to me is that mplayer by itself works fine. Is there any way to make Myth log more (like maybe the exact command line that it uses to start live TV). --BobG -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Daniels Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 4:58 PM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] New Install - Hang on entering live tv ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 7:15 PM Subject: [mythtv-users] New Install - Hang on entering live tv I have searched the archives and googled this topic to no avail.

I remember it killing me for a while, unti I realised I'd made a stupid mistake. I just can't remember what it was, if I come up with anything I'll let you know, but otherwise, check *everything* a dozen or so times!
