Anyone?  Anyone at all?  I do notice that I only have 1 video device 
under /dev (/dev/video0), and that is the device for the analog portion 
of my pcHD5500 card.  So how can I see if this box is working?  Like I 
said above, I have the component (red/blue/green) cables from my Comcast 
Motorola box into the Input of the HD-PVR, and the HD-PVR is plugged 
into my Myth box via USB.

Any ideas?  Am I missing something very obvious?
