If the capture card drivers are broken, yes (though that seems unlikely 
because LiveTV is working.)

Do as others in the thread have recommended, first, then (assuming 
drivers are fine) I'd recommend 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 as it's 
quite possible to have a broken capture card/input connections 
configuration that works for a while, then all of a sudden (with no 
user-initiated change), Myth just stops recording.
