[mythtv-users] hdpvr won't record through myth

[Dave Badia]

Alright, looks like the issue was most likely the usb hub having other
devices on it as when I swapped the hdpvr, usb cable and power supply I had
the same issues.  Pulled the other usb devices off the hub, restarted and
all is well.

Thanks for the suggestions
Dave
