Well, it gets more interesting.

Mythweb has changed its mind, since I last looked at it, as to what it is going to do. Now it is going to record two copies of
"The Event" instead of two copies of "House".

Mon Nov 8, 2010
  	Cable HDHR 0 	HDHouse: Office Politics 	2.1 - KTVU-TV 	Mon Nov 8, 2010 (07:55 PM) 	1 hr 10 mins 	Don't Record 	Never Record
  	Cable HDHR 1 	HDThe Event 	11.1 - KNTV-HD 	Mon Nov 8, 2010 (08:55 PM) 	1 hr 10 mins 	Don't Record 	Never Record
  	Cable HDHR 1 	HDThe Event 	11.1 - KNTV-HD 	Mon Nov 8, 2010 (08:55 PM) 	1 hr 10 mins 	Don't Record 	Never Record
  	Cable HDHR 0 	HDCastle: Murder Most Fowl 	7.1 - KGO-HD 	Mon Nov 8, 2010 (09:56 PM) 	1 hr 9 mins 	Don't Record 	Never Record

But it disagrees with Myth Front end as to which two "The Event" showings.

MythFrontEnd shows the same shows, and the same number of shows being recorded, but instead of both being on channel 11.1, it
has one of them on 8.1 instead. This is even more interesting in that 8.1 is not available on "Cable HDHR 1" (it is available on
a different HDHR from an antenna).

In summary: Both MythWeb, and MythFrontEnd agree that two copies of "The Event" will be recorded on Nov 8 at the same time. They
disagree on the channels they will record from.
