Have you have a chance to look at this any further, Daniel?

Today I was just playing with svn 10180 and got a similar result:
- If MythTV receives the MGT and then the VCT the recording works fine.
- If the VCT arrives before the MGT, the recording logic waits forever 
for the MGT.  I've looked at the raw stream and the MGT is there, but it 
seems like MythTV is either ignoring it or filtering it out.

Thanks,
Bill
