> So i got my tv tuner card setup and I can watch it using mplayer and I can change channels using ivtv-tune. Im now trying to setup mythtv and I ran into some trouble. I installed both the backend and the frontend and went through mythtv-setup.  I was able to add up to channel 73. However when I start mythtv frontend and try to view live tv all I get is a black screen. Below is the output from the shell. Im assuming the part where it went wrong is where is says Unknown video Codec(this part is highlighted in red). Im using Hauppage pvr 350 which has a hardware decoder. Did I miss something in the setup where I was supposed to tell it it had a hardware decoder.

Its hard to say, in mythtv-setup you should have added a:
	Capture card Selected type & etc
	Video source -- unless you've setup schedules direct you want to say no
                         grabber
	Input connection -- link this to input source
	Select channel and tell which video source to use
