Both are identical, so nothing obvious here. I take it from your
earlier comments that you can 'cat /dev/video1 > test.mpg' without
problems outside of MythTV?

Are the two cards the same model?

The user that is starting the mythbackend process - normally root if
you are using the /etc/init.d/mythbackend script.

I'd be tempted to remove the capture card definitions in mythtvsetup
and re-add them to see if this sorts it out before trying less obvious
things.
