[mythtv-users] Can't record HD via firewire (can watch HD live sometimes)

[Stephen Sassman]

I can watch HD over firewire, but I cannot schedule anything to record. I
wasn't sure what to set tvformat to in the channel table, but currently I am
using SECAM for ABC and CBS and *ATSC* for FOX. Is that what I should be
using? I can record by pressing r while watching an HD program. Although
sometimes even just changing channel to one of the HD channels make firewire
die. But trying to record using the schedule always fails. I then have to
get the channel back to non-HD and re-run the firewire priming script.  When
trying to record a pre-scheduled show, the failed recording shows up in
mythweb, but the file size is "B". I don't understand it since when watching
live TV, the program is being recorded. Why can't I record something using
the schedule?

I can record all SD digital channels with no problem over firewire.

Here is some of the output from the backend log (it is much longer):
