[mythtv-users] Recording issues...am I asking for help in the wrong way??

I take that (partially) back.

Video was recorded, but not audio...

In "analog options", I had "s-video" configured as the default analog
input, but at the moment, I'm having problems with the audio for the
S-video input.

So I thought, "no problem, I'll switch back to "television" as the default
analog input in mythtv-setup under Capture Cards.

No joy.  Doesn't record.

So, this is obviously some sort of configuration issue with my Myth
install, not the card...the audio-in for the S-video input I'm still
working on, too.
