Thanks, Jerry.  Believe it or not, the 0.26.0-7 RPMS were the ones I was
running.  After dabbling with rolling my own (and dieing inside a little
just at the thought), I gave it a shot at rolling back to the 0.26.0-4 RPMS
from RPMfusion.  Amazingly, it worked.. I'm getting recordings now and able
to view LiveTV (don't normally use LiveTV at all, but it is a good test)..
I'm not keeping my hopes up just yet, though.. I'm keeping a close eye on
things before I celebrate.
