[mythtv-users] New Problems recording 2 shows at once...

So, I've got a new problem (will this day ever end) :)

I've managed to get the video to play properly since my last post --- no
clue why it was skewed in mplayer, but it's fine in MythTV.
I just tried mplayer /dev/video0 and got proper video   I tried /dev/video1
and got a completely different channel than /dev/video0 so looks like I'm in
business - or so I thought!

Read on ... 

The new problem is such that I can watch a program or record one program
only.
The 2nd Encoder never becomes active and records anything even though I have
told it to record 2 manual recordings for 1 minute (at the same time) as
seen below.

Nothing shows up in the recorded programs section other than the 1st one
that was recorded.  My logs are below.  I'm not sure what other logs are on
the system - I checked /var/log/mythtv and it's empty...no files in there.
I've setup /dev/video0 with TUNER0 and /dev/video1 with TUNER0

Video Sources are:
cable0 -> Channel Freq:  Default
cable1 -> Channel Freq:  Default

Input Connections are:
/dev/video0 (Tuner0) cable0
/dev/video1 (Tuner0) cable1

In Channel Options - I see duplicate channels.
Eg.  Channel 3 has 2 entries, and both of them have video source of cable0

I've tried setting the 2nd one to cable1 but they both go to cable1.



A side issue is that after every reboot, the audio is too low.  I even
followed the instructions to add that line in rc.local so I'm not sure
what's up with that?

Many thanks.

Cory
