Latest update:
I told it t record Buffy on FX, it recorded Comedy
Central - the last channel that gorecord was set to.
But I did get 1/2 hr of Bubble Boy, so the recording
part works. Now if I could only get MythTV to control
the encoder...

It looks like mythtv is not talking to the cards
properly. Any  ideas?
