Can you manually record from the HD-PVR?
Exit myth frontend and stop mythbackend. Then use a command such as:
cat /dev/video0 > ~/test01.ts
After that command, wait two minuets then press <ctrl><c>. You should
be able to play the resulting file (in your home directory) with VLC
or mplayer.
*The HD-PVR might be attached to a different device node (instead of video0).
