I also have the same problem. After an EPG scan the screen stays black, no
audio - just the EPG info. (not always but in most cases)

I am using 2001-11-17 + 0.99pre1 now, but it also happened with
2001-09-21 + 0.98.

I have no Mtrox card but am using lm_sensors to monitor cpu/system
temperature and fan speed. and I am using the i2c package (IIRC
v2.6.0) provided there, not the one shipped with the kernel. (btw. now
using 2.4.9)
