Post subject:  Watch TV doesn't work for me.

I am running KnoppMyth R5C7 on an

Epia ME6000
512MB Ram
250GB HD
PVR-150

The installation seemed to go very smoothly. Prior to installation I registered at Zap2it and the TV listings downloaded during setup. If I go back to setup I see all the channels from my lineup.

I can also watch DVDs and get on the internet without a problem but when I try to watch tv the screen just blinks at me. I can go through and get into every other menu except Watch TV. Nothing happens.

The PVR-150 is set to use Tuner by default and all I have is bunny ears for getting reception. Could this be caused by having Digital Channels in my lineup?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

That looks good. Your problem now is most likley one of the other issues described in the BlackScreenWatchingTV troubleshooting page. Wrong frequency set (with bunny ears I'm betting you want one of the broadcast ones), making input connections for all the inputs instead of just the tuner, ... Please go through the check list on that page and tell us what you've tried if you don't find a solution.

OBTW - It's _very_ easy to trim your lineup at zap2it to just include the channels you get. Simply a matter of unchecking items and hitting the save button. You really don't want to clutter up your program guide with useless information.
