Hi Andy,

I am thinking that there must in fact be something wrong with either a cable or 
the board for the second connection.  All the settings are identical between 
both Video0 and Video1 except for the s-video input (1 & 3 respectively) and 
the audio input (1 & 2 respectively).  I confirmed the cables, switched sat 
boxes as a test, and no sound on number 2.  

I will have to crack open the box next to see if something there is the issue.  
For now though I am going to try and figure out how to configure MythTV to work 
with the HVR-1600 (at the moment it is not seeing it so my config is wrong in 
Myth).

Thanks again for your help and the great education.

-Peter
