[mythtv-users] Tuner & Composite problems?

Hello, I have two cable boxes from comcast and I have sent the output
of box A to the PVR-500MCE tuner coaxial input and I have sent the
composite (red, white, & yellow RCA connectors) to the composite in on
the PVR-500MCE.
My theory was to watch live tv from the tuner input from box A and be
able to capture from the composite input from box B. No joy!
When I schedule a recording (even manual) it captures nothing, it does
not even create a empty mpg file.
This is the output of cat /proc/interrupts:

So what am I doing wrong, and where could I possibly start looking to
fix the problem.
Thanks in advance!
