The change from tuner0 to tuner1 was a change in the IVTV drivers to  
make them more compatible with the V4L drivers, and it caused a lot  
of folks some problems.

If you delete all your card setups and re-install them with the  
tuner1 input you should be OK.

What I don't understand is how it was working with LiveTV if it was  
looking for an input that wasn't there.
