Well...they're mounted horizontally so neither. :) I don't think its a heat issue at all. I've removed one of the cards from the myth setup and recordings still fail. Again, its only recordings that happen minutes to hours into the future, not ones I initiate right away or livetv. I can also reset ivtv and start recording a long show and it completes, another point against the heat issue. This seems like a driver/myth interaction issue to me since its so reproduceable where a heat issue I would expect to be sporadic. Again, the case is very cool and all 3 case fans are on high.
