Post subject:  Black Screen???

Hello all. I get a black screen when I try to watch live tv..... I di a [ctrl] alt F1 to get the the xterm prompt to see if I have any messages. I get the following message. Any idea what this means? I have setup the channel listing and updated the db. That all looks ok. Here is the message

ivtv: Timeout waiting for data!

Thank you for any help

By the way, when I click on watch tv, I see a clock in the upper right corner of the screen for a couple seconds. Also, there is a gray-like bar at the bottom of the screen with nothing on it. Both fade away after a coupe seconds. I can type in a channel number and hit hit enter and it goes to that channel but still no video. I can not see anything other that the clock and the bottom panel. Thanks
