Ran 'setup' (a.k.a. 'mythtvsetup')... same place one defines video
devices and channel lineups. Make a bogus lineup and manually add an
unused channel (e.g. 99 for me). Bind it to another input like composite.
Trouble I had with that is I couldn't WatchTV with it. To verify
it was working, I had to make a short ManualRecording and watch it. When
I finally verified all was good, I made a ManualRecording for the
approximate length of what I was dubbing, and let it rip.
