This is complementary to the notes I sent a few minutes ago (below). Interesting! I scheduled the recording of a program that was starting a few minutes ago and now I started to watch it (all through Myth). I can see the recorded program just fine, but I get no audio. I also see the preview with a delay (when looking at the recorded programs) and after a while my mythbox died. I had to power cycle it.
