Thanks Bob!
 
I'm running 0.24-fixes, I was just explaining my reasoning for going to 0.24-fixes, wasn't sure if it was necessary.
 
I'm able to tune to the Prime without any trouble from the 'Watch TV' interface, its just that the recording sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
 
As a test I scheduled 4 things last night before I turned in, and this morning only 2 of the four things were recorded, the other two had 376 byte stub .mpg files in the recording directory.
 
Sounds like I should take a leap and upgrade to 0.25, I'm willing to do that, I was staying away from it because it sounded like the development trunk.
