[mythtv-users] HDPVR unable to record after upgrading to r20007 - in trunk

Problem solved, it was a corrupt database.

After a quick manual inspection, it looks like the table entry specifying
the spdif input was mis-assigned to RCA in the corrupt database and
prevented the HD-PVR from initializing properly.  But this is just guess.

Thanks for all of the help!
