I have a "sleep" command in my channel change script, since Myth will
not request data from the tuner until the script finishes this made
things work prior to the HDPVR change. the biggest issue was having to
reboot the HDPVR. usually recordings worked perfectly, and most of the
time LiveTV worked perfectly.
