scratch that, channel changing just doesn't work.

On the plus side, telling Myth to use broadcast has allowed me to create any 
0byte recordings. Sometimes the channel is wrong, but it always gets a 
stream.

I posted to the user list the same, but have yet to hear feedback from anyone.

So what can I do to try and diagnose the channel changing issue?
