Black Screen for live tv

[andytaft]

I have a P3 2.8 with a Hauppauge 150. Whenever I try to view live tv I get a black screen. The tuning assistant does allow me to see channels though. Here are the logs.

Are you absolutely sure about the type of card you have? The logs look like you've selected a PVR150, but you have PVR250/350 or other card. All the PVR150 specific things seems to have failed in the log above.

I couldn't remember which one I had. Thanks, great program.
