First,
If it didn't get the "hint" reading the emails earlier, chances are I am not
going to get it reading a wiki! Maybe the problem is more of me being a
non-Linux guy rather than being rude. No intention here of me trying to be
rude, in fact I am very thankful to everyone who is spending time on my
problem. If there is something I am doing wrong, please feel free to let me
know, coz I still am not getting the subtle hints!

Second, you are right once again, that didn't help. Now it's recording with
permissions of 644...
I will try now with: setfacl -b /usr/local/media/tv

Aplogies once again if my etiquettes are not par with the rest of the elites
here at Mythtv...
