Hi,
I got mythtv-r7194 from svn.mythtv.org and build,
when record from S-Input and STB at /dev/video1 (ivtv) with 
below messages and not to be recorded:
---
2005-09-03 07:29:32.365 Started recording "??????????" on channel: 6 on cardid: 1, sourceid 1
2005-09-03 07:29:32.516 Channel::GetCurrentChannelNum(6): Failed to find Channel '6'
2005-09-03 07:29:32.523 Channel(/dev/video1)::TuneTo(6): Error, failed to find channel.
2005-09-03 07:29:32.527 TVRec: Failed to set channel for recording. Aborting.
---
So,I changed libs/mythtv/libmythtv/channel.cpp *not to use*
tuner (force to  use external input) with below patch ,
please change this routine able to
record without Tuner.

Regards,
Ohta
