[mythtv-users] Scheduled recordings won't change the channel on PVR-250/ Myth 0.11 RH 9.0

[Chris Gruenwald]

I have everything working really well except for this problem.   My Myth
installation won't change the channels when performing a scheduled
record.  I guess this isn't exactly a minor problem :).

I can change the channels with no problem with my up and down arrow
keys while watching live TV.   Lots of details about the channel I am
watching pop up too - when I change the channels manually.

Any idea on why myth can't change channels for me?

I dumped a few of my SQL tables - capturecard, channel, cardinput, and
a few 
entries from the program tables from the mysql db. 
I also dumped my modules.conf (at the end).

capturecard,
mysql> select * from capturecard;

channel,
mysql> select * from channel limit 5,10;
