Oh, my apologies.. I missed the word "audio" there.
I have general "nothing works reliably" digital or analog
when both are configured on a single 950Q or 800i.
The analog TV is on the xc5000 in both cases,
but I suspect a more general Mythtv bug somewhere.  :)

recording group, set the resolution to 720x480, etc..
