OK, I spoke too soon.  I can watch Live TV.  I can change channels on
Live TV.  But, when I scheduled up a few recordings (when nothing else
was going on), it didn't work.  Here's a mythbackend log excerpt from
the attempt.  I'm confused about the reference to "Tuner 0" as I changed
that to "Tuner 1" in my setup....  That's how I got Live TV working!

No mention of a "Tuner" here.  Any ideas?
