Logically I would expect mythvideo to be included in the "default group, but excluded by deleting the default group and setting an explicit group for live tv. But can't find the exact procedure documented anywhere. I'm still having other issues with LiveTV (HD-PVR) so would like to exclude storage group issues as far as possible before I can test.
