Sorry for the long quote, but I didn't see a soluation in this thread. I'm having the same problems. However, I do have a bit of a twist. My Mythtv box will always change the channel, but won't always record the show. It reports that it has recorded it, but it is a 0 length file. The really weird part is that it will record 1 out of 3 shows via firewire, but miss the other two. Anyone have any ideas? _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
