hi,

thanks,
k

that is very odd and I haven't seen it, but are you installing using a monitor or just tv?

Search the forum, search the MythTV docs. Saying "getting a blank search" isn't much to go on....

I am thinking that maybe in you XF86Config-4 file, under the Monitor Section, it is set to only display to a TV. Check for lines similar to these:
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"


That may be why you get a blank screen. Also, try to hook it up to you TV and see if anything comes on the screen.
