[mythtv-users] HDPVR unable to record after upgrading to r20007 - in trunk

[John Hoyt]

Thanks!

As or the suggestion, I already tried power-cycling the HDPVR, and believe
it to be a mythtvbackend problem as I can record video by running "cat
/dev/video0 < test.ts" but can not record it from mythtv.  Also after a
mythbackend crash, I can get the HDPVR to record (again using cat) by
unloading and reloading the module without a power cycle.
