Rob:
I had another look and found the log files under /tmp. The record server appears to try to start but the error " Record_Thread::run: past wait()!!" appears to bring things to a halt. Any ideas with this particular problem? Text below from /tmp/recordserver-0.log for a recoding event at 22:00.
The "past wait" message appears when recording is finished or rather the mencoder command exits. So, it seems that your mencoder command is failing right away.

What version is your mencoder? If this is a recent version at all then I think your problem is with your VCR_CMD. Instead of using "-tv on:opts..." try "tv:// -tv opts:...." so just add "tv:// " and remove the "on" part after -tv.
Hope this helps, -Rob
P.S. - The sample VCR_CMD should be fixed in CVS now.
