Exactly. And I created a new "input group" in mythtv-setup and set both
of them to the same new group. I hope that's the right way to tell Myth
that it can't record from both the PVR svideo and firewire at the same
time.

Assuming that your firewire recording is completely stable, it is much
better. I'm not convinced that mine is.
Of course, the best solution is a QAM tuner for the channels that aren't
encrypted, but I assume that we all know that here.
