Well, sometimes I just love linux. After a reboot one of my pvr-500 tuners
was gone, so I had to re-add it into myth. It had been changed from
/dev/video0 to /dev/video1 all on it's own so myth removed it (the second
tuner on the pvr-500 is /dev/video2 and my hd tuner was originally
/dev/video1 and now is /dev/video0). Once it was back in myth, myth is now
doing what I want it to do. Guess I'll never know the reason.

Just hope it doesn't crop up again.
-Thanks
