I didn't say this explicitly to Peter at the beginning, I just implied
it but, since I suspect that the issue with the hdhomerun is 
distinguishing between multiple HD Homeruns with different
capabilities on the same network. So, my first action was to unplug
all but the HD Homerun prime and try my configuration. I wasn't able
to test this well, The Prime and my HD-PVR share the same set of
Channels. When I go to tune a channel, the mythtv overrides my choices
and tunes it on the HD-PVR which invalidates my testing. So, I took
the Prime of the net and put the Connect back on. Everything was honky
dory then. I added the Prime back and ran into another nightmare.

I wish I could just specify to mythtv that when I say this capture
source I mean the HD Homerun at IP address 172.x.y.62 because I know
that will work. I'm running Paul Vixie's DHCP server her and I've had
static assignments to these boxes since the day that I got them.
