 My setup is 2 "HDHomeRun SiliconDust dual" network tuners on ip
 169.254.1.26 and 169.254.1.27 running on Mandriva Linux 2010.2 using
 SchedulesDirect for listings.
 Works with no problem on version 0.23

 Installed Mandriva Linux 2011.0 on a Test system. Adding mythtv packages
 installs version 0.24.
 As a Oh By the Way, it forced me to install 0.24 on my "Production" back
 end and my "Production" Front end systems. :(
 I talked with $DEITY for a few minutes about that,

 Stopped mythtvbackend, dropped the myth database, created it.

 Ran mythtv-setup and answered OK to upgrade prompts.
 Exited mythtv-setup, ran mythtv-setup again and proceeded to complete the
 install/setup.
 Started mythtvbackend, ran mythfilldatabase.

 Deleted ~.mythtv/* on front end system, and ran mythtvfrontend

 First problem: mythtv-setup creates 8 tuners when I defined 4 tuners. :-(
 Went back, deleted all tuners, created 4 again and still wound up with 8.

 Second problem: While recording one show and running Watch TV, it used the
 same tuner and killed the recording.
 Looking at mythtv tuner info, it showed tuner 1 recording. Led on tuner
 hardware was not lit indicating not in use.

 Third problem: Scheduled 4 recordings at next half hour. One led lit on
 each tuner instead of two lit on each.

 mythtv tuner status showed 4 tuners recording. Getting into the media
 library showed no picture but had green circle for 4 recordings
 but when selecting each, gave no file found.

 Using phpmyadmin, I noticed inputgroup, capturecard, and cardinput had 8
 rows instead of 4.
 I noticed the cardinput.externalcommand field not NULL, so I used it to
 delete the bogus rows.

     DELETE FROM inputgroup
     WHERE inputgroup.cardinputid = (
     SELECT cardinputid
     FROM cardinput
     WHERE inputgroup.cardinputid = cardinput.cardinputid
     AND cardinput.externalcommand IS NOT NULL) ;

     DELETE FROM capturecard
     WHERE capturecard.cardid = (
     SELECT cardid
     FROM cardinput
     WHERE capturecard.cardid = cardinput.cardid
     AND cardinput.externalcommand IS NOT NULL) ;

     DELETE FROM cardinput
     WHERE cardinput.externalcommand IS NOT NULL ;

 That left me with tuners 1, 3, 5 and 7.

 Did the tv test again and it did pick the other tuner box and did not kill
 the recording.
 Did the 4 recording test again and only 1 led on each tuner box lit up and
 all recordings failed.

 FRAP, three days shot to hell. Stopped mythtvbackend and deleted
 ~.mythtv/* on all systems.
 Wiped/clean install of operating systems on both Production back and front
 ends, then installed 0.23.

 $ mythbackend --version
