| Post subject: | Blue screen on UK DVB |
Hi, Just switched over to try KnoppMyth after a painful attempt to try and set up MythTV on a Feisty box; much more impressed with the cohesiveness of KM but am falling at the final hurdle - any help appreciated! Relevant parts of my system, at my estimation, are: - ATI Radeon 8500 Pro - Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T And everything else should be up to it (AMD 2200+, 512Mb RAM, 2 x 120Gb HDD...). So. All installed fine and the card is autodetected and I've set it all up (I think) correctly; that is, it's recognised, configured as a DVB v3.x, and will scan for channels and pick them up fine. The problem is that playback, of anything, seems to just result in a blue screen (the only change I can make to which is to switch it between widescreen and full screen). That said, it seems to record happily; it'll schedule recordings and create them in the recordings menu, and it'll even display the preview video correctly, but playback results in a black screen this time. I've not checked audio output while all this is going on though so I don't know if that's working. My suspicions, given it's recording but not displaying anything, are that it's a graphics driver issue; any thoughts welcomed though... Thanks. |

Do you have an Nvidia graphics card you could try instead of the ATI one? Since you can see the preview of recordings its bound to be a graphics card problem. |

I use tv out on a 350. I very occasionally experience a similar problem. The differences in the output driver probably mean the problem is unrelated, however it is always fixed (so far) with a reboot. I have always put this down to the Hauppauge 350 card getting confused with recordings made on channels with poor DVB-T reception, but it might just be something in mythtv. babblefish |
