Hi, I tried that, and the file was empty.  I made sure I have read
permission on dvr0 (I suppose it would have told me if I didn't anyway).
Another item, I found that I can record using an application from an
Australian programmer called "Me TV".  So, if I'm desperate I've got
something, but I like for things to work.  (BTW, I'm seldom desperate,
there's not that much on TV that I care about anyway, which is why I'm not
trying out mythTV.)

And thanks for taking the time to try and help me.
