[mythtv-users] pvr-250 not recording

[Tod Detre]

well, after quite a while I got my new pvr-250 working for livetv. It 
works great for live, but there seems to be a problem with recording.

I've set up several programs to record, but they never show up in the 
Recorded Programs listings. I'm just wondering if it's due to 
underpowered hardware or some software misconfiguration. Right now I've 
got one pvr-250 in a Quad PPro 200, with 256megs of ram, and 100gb of 
scsi hardware raid space just for myth. This is my mythbackend output:

Any ideas of what could be going wrong?
