Actually cat /dev/video0 works and records the content.  But after I stop
cat and let myth try, the device no longer responds until I rmmod/modprobe
the driver.  I don't think myth is at fault, but it is odd that cat works
and myth doesn't.

Anyway, lots of other good suggestions here.  I'm going to swap power
supplies and hdpvrs once I get a break in recordings on the working unit.
Have a pci usb card on order as well

Thanks
Dave
