I have a fresh install and live tv changes from showing a picture to black screen after about 3 seconds. Audio is not affected.
i have cycled through the different decoders and do not see a difference. Any ideas?

This is never a good sign in the logs "Adding system MPEG2 decoder" If you are using LAV make sure that MPEG2 video is enabled. Also on Win7 definiitely start with the Microsoft DTV-DVD Decoder for both MPEG2 and h264

i forgot to add that recording and playback of recorded over the air ATSC is working just fine. It is only viewing live TV that goes from great picture for 3 seconds to black.
try unchecking "Use Alternate OSD for Missing Video" in Settings->Misc (or maybe Misc2). This is often the culprit when it's just Live TV having this problem.
"Using fake OSD" makes me think johnsonx42 has a point, but I'm also suspicious about your Live TV buffer directory. Is your Recordings directory also on drive T? Putting the buffer in C:\Temp or somewhere in C:\Users\Public would avoid difficulties with permissions. This is from NRecord log:
Code:
2014-01-04 09:40:23.031 [DEBUG][13] Asking NDigitalHost to start: LIVE&T:\Buffer\live-KHOU-DT-5837.ts
2014-01-04 09:40:25.299 [DEBUG][13] Live TV handle: 0x140001
2014-01-04 09:40:45.400 [ERROR][8] Live stream expired without renewal. (handle:140001)
I would also set AAC Audio to Disabled and make sure that LAV is selected for AC3 Audio.
This was the problem. Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks Martin, the MPEG2 was not set to 'Microsoft DTV-DVD Decoder' changing this setting worked perfectly for me.
