I'm not in the US so am pretty unfamiliar with the cable setups and the HDHomerun Prime (if I recall correctly you have a Prime and Cablecard - I believe cablecard is needed because US clear-air QAM is essentially now a thing of the past?). But a recurring theme on this user-list with the HDHomeruns is activation and encryption - and zero byte recordings is pretty symptomatic of failure to decrypt encryption and based on your output above the channel is encrypted. Also note that the HDHomeRun Prime will only allow MythTV access to those shows that are not copy protected

There is a pretty detailed guide for the HDHomerun Prime here - http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Silicondust_HDHomeRun_Prime

But the first thing I think I would do is navigate to the internal HDHomerun Prime webpage and check the activation status and cablecard pairing. I assume it should be ok given it works with Windows Media Centre but all the same I wouldn't take it for granted. Also double check the status page from your output against the example given and look for differences that might explain potential issues.

If that all checks out then go down to the MythTV setup guide on that same page, delete all capture cards and all video sources and run through the setup again and double check each of the steps.

Then after that check the troubleshooting steps at the bottom of the page.

If you still have troubles after that maybe start a new thread with a title along the lines of HDHomerun Prime setup because there are some certifiable experts on this list that may not be reading this thread because the initial problem was related to grabbing the schedule info, not integrating the prime with mythtv.
