also try

DISPLAY=:0.1 or :0.2 if you want to send the stream to HDMI or second display port. Sounds like spot did not get a copy of the environmental settings. Which could explain a lot about spot issues I've been running into.
However it could also let me run one display as root and another as Spot or Fido, which I like better than trying to figure out who is running as what usr on same X window.

I do not now how I missed this thread before, Was trying to get something like this years ago, and make a DVR out of puppy. Was able to have the SDTV captures go straight into a DVD multisession file without a harddrive. That worked so well I was unable to break it. But with the move to HDTV tuners gave up.
