Post subject:  Sound but no picture when watching Live TV

Ok, I am kind of stumped.

I have a PVR-350 and it is hooked up via composite connections to my TV. Under R4V2, I could watch Live TV and recordings on my TV by just configuring Myth to output through the PVR-350.

I did a clean installation of R4V3 on the same box, and now everything works fine EXCEPT for the display on my TV. I get sound, but no picture.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I would need to change?

I just stumbled across a couple of postings that MAY help fix my problem. The text below is a excerpt of the info I think I need to fix the problem:

The following is an excerpt from post http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=697
(see last post from wlemmers)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The reason for the black screen (with sound) is that the alpha blend is set on the wrong fb device. (myth 0.14 & ivtv 1.9)

In the new knoppmyth release /dev/fb0autodetect has minor nr 1 which myth expects for /etc/fb1.

See the dmesg: Warning: Remapping obsolete /dev/fb* minor 32 to 1

/dev/fb1 is minor nr 32

To solve this delete /dev/fb0autodetect and /dev/fb1 and create a new fb1:
mknod /dev/fb1 c 29 1
chmod 666 fb1
chown video fb1
