Well, obvious stuff first. What cable system are you on? You need to see 
how they're setting the copy-once flag. Comcast, where I am, is pretty 
liberal about it and does not set the flag. Charter on the east coast, 
I'm told, sets *everything* copy once. You cannot use copy-once channels 
with an HDHR Prime and Myth.
