Post subject:  'Watch TV' does nothing - SOLVED
Last night I ran an auto install of R5D1 and it went smoothly. Upon first boot I was able to select my tuner (Hauppauge 250) and it looked like everything was okay.

I then went to watch tv and the screen flashes for a second then nothing happens. I also tried going to mythweb to add some programs to record and that behaves oddly. I can see tv listings and am able to schedule a recording so it shows up in 'recording schedules' but nothing ever appears in 'upcoming recordings.' I'm really confused as to what is going on and would appreciate any help I can get.

Here is some info from /var/log/messages - if more is needed to help diagnose this let me know:

What kind of input does the PVR card have? Cable straight from the wall or is there some kind of cable box in the mix?

Under "Input Connections" in mythtv-setup did you associate the "Video Source" with the input you're using and only that?

See the troubleshooting pages on the wiki for more: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=TroubleShooting
Especially this one which covers most of these "failure to tune" issues: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=BlackScreenWatchingTV

OBTW - Good work on the logfile extract. It shows that your card and tuner is being recognized properly and the firmware is getting loaded. Keep it up! :D

Ahhhhh, thanks tjc! I had setup the card in mythtv-setup but I forgot to associate the video source with it.

Thank you so much, everything seems to be working now :)

Don't feel bad, my first time out of the box I associated the video source with all the inputs. :oops: The MythTV documentation around setup stuff is less than crystal clear.

Anyway, now you get to point the next newbie with this kind of problem to the appropriate troubleshooting pages. ;-)

OBTW - You might also want to edit your title to add " - solved".
