[MPlayer-users] mplayer not playing TV (but detects it)

[Mike Warner]

mplayer plays movie and audio files just fine but doesn't seem to be able
to get input from my TV tuner card.  (This is the last thing I need to
finish before finally getting this thing into my living room.)  Has anyone
else had this problem?  It looks like it sees the tv signal OK.  Below is
what I get at STDOUT: (I'm working on the no audio bit right now using the
btaudio drivers)  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike
