Ok I've hunted through just about every log I can find. It appears that
everything is loading find and I don't see any errors.

I left the cards in the mythbox and the schedule is running normally from
when I had the PVR150's installed. One card is recording all red and the
other is all green.

What else can I look at/try?

Thanks!
