I'm pretty sure in 0.18.1 you have to explicitly change cards (and perhaps inputs) if a channel isn't available on the current.

How exactly would I do that?  After all, no matter which way the
option is checked, it's basically up to Myth to choose which card is
the one used when capturing input that's going to LiveTV.  Is there
some magic keystroke sequence that says, "Change to card number n,
"Y" (but it just increments cardid's skipping in use ones)

and now change to card n's input m"

"C" (once again, it just cycles through available inputs for which a video source is connected).

when in LiveTV?  (And man, is that
ever risky, because it requires someone using LiveTV to have an
intimate knowledge of exactly which card(s) Myth is using [and
planning to use] in order not to disrupt a recording.)

(already covered the skipping in use cards)
