Does grep work with wildcards?  I'd have done:

find / -name "*20060112*" -print

The directory for recordings in specified during mythtvsetup (the
backend setup)  I think by default it's called /store, but that
probably depends what package you installed from.

If your file did get recorded, but isn't showing up, then that's
probably something to do with recording groups.

Manual recording with mythtv is a bit of a palaver.  You might find
the following command easier.  It's what I use for recording from my
VCR, using my PVR 350.

dd if=/dev/video0 of=~/myfile.mpg bs=64k


just CTRL-C when you've finished.
