Your splitter should be fine as long as the first sky star is set to
always be on. Both transponders are HPOl.

Can you try to schedule a recording on 3 or 4 and run a tail on
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log or similar. You should see it attempt to
initialise the recording, and any associated errors.
