I tossed everything and have recreated it. Double checked and made sure 
that within #4 Input Connections
that the Tuner1 is pointed to PVR-250 (the name of my video source).

When watching Live TV, I can see the guide update as I change channels, 
so I can only assume that the
relationship of Guide to Tuner works correctly.

After recreating, the Encoder # incremented to 6.

Toying around in the db, I could see everything I wanted to record 
populated within mythconverg.record. I'm
guestimating this is the source of data when I click "Recording Schedules".

Regardless, I'm still up the creek without a paddle.
