[mythtv-users] Tuner Unavailable

I had a very well running myth installation with a 1 x MBE (DIGIT) 
and 1 x SBE (M10K). I started to add a dedicated FE (LEGOMANIAC) and 
the entire system died.

I am running Fedora 7, 2.6.23.15-80.fc7, Myth version 0.20.2-172, I 
have 1TB RAID5 supporting the backend store in /opt/store that is 
exported via NFS.

The MBE has a WinTV PVR 500 and the SBE has a WinTV PVR 150. I am 
unable to get either the 500 or the 150 to show up as available on 
the Information Center, System Status, Tuner Status menu. I always 
get Tuner Unavailable for my entries.

I deleted all the tuner information by using mythtv-setup, shut down 
the SBE, and re-entered tuners for the 500 for just the the MBE. I 
still got Tuner 1 is unavailable and Tuner 2 is unavailable.

I checked to see if the 500 works on its own. I used all the tests 
given in J. Wilson's guide and passed them all.  I even was able to 
record and playback video on both tuners on the 500.

At this point I am really tearing my hair out and just want to get 
back to where I was before I tried to add the FE.  Any help would be 
most appreciated.
