Ok, I rarely get time to tweak my myth setup, but I have a couple of 
hours on Thursday evening. What should my plan of attack be to try and 
either fix or at least find the cause of the problem in the shortest 
amount of time.

My current plan is to take out the TV cards one at a time, try to start 
Myth and see if those errors show up in the backend log again.

Do I need to reconfigure myth setup each time I change a card to tell it 
what to expect, or just run myth?

I'd appreciate any help in making my couple of hours productive as I 
never know when my next block of myth time is coming.

Cheers
