[mythtv-users] Could not find channel 9_2 in CVCT

My MythTV started behaving oddly today.

Prior to yesterday, my setup was as follows:

     cardinputid 1, cardid 1:
       Hauppage PVR-500 (/dev/video0) tuner 1 connected to sourceid 1
     cardinputid 2, cardid 2:
       Hauppage PVR-500 (/dev/video1) tuner 1 connected to sourceid 1
     cardinputid 3, cardid 3:
       HDHomeRun port 0 connected to sourceid 2
     cardinputid 4, cardid 4:
       HDHomeRun port 1 connected to sourceid 2

where "source 1" is the unencrypted cable analog channels and "source 2" 
is the unencrypted cable digital channels. Yesterday afternoon, I added 
the following:

     cardinputid 5, cardid 1:
       Hauppage DVR-500 (/dev/video0) composite connected to sourceid 3

where sourceid 3 is new with one channel, the encrypted digital channel 
we've left a cable box permanently tuned to. New XMLTV lineup for it as 
well. I made no physical changes; the splitters and whatnot were already 
in this configuration.

Everything seemed to be working (I flipped through the inputs in Live TV 
mode with "y"; we could record things from the new input. But today the 
MythTV has failed to record anything on the HDHomeRun. Each time 
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log says the following:


2008-05-19 07:00:17.341 scheduler: Started recording: Power Yoga: Mind 
and Body "Airplanes": channel 2092 on cardid 3, sourceid 2

I don't know what to make of this. This same channel (even program) 
recorded fine yesterday morning; I'm pretty sure I did nothing but add 
the new source and cardinput since then. Physical wiring looks fine. If 
I flip to the HDHomeRun with "y" in "Watch Live TV", channel 9_2 is the 
first one that comes up.

 From googling, the closest result was 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3546, but that seems quite different 
(a weird input never working vs. my setup working after a seemingly 
unrelated change).

What could this mean?

Best regards,
Scott
