Just to let you know...  Your messages--all three of them so far

--/are/ coming through.  It's always a good idea to wait a few hours 
after you post and then search the archives if you're afraid your 
messages are not going through.  You can search by subject

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/

or even using your own e-mail address

However, no one is responding to your question, "Can anyone help me 
figure this out?"  This probably means no one can help.
