[mythtv-users] won't record 2nd DVB card

I have two DVB cards which I have used for a few years now and I have recently moved over 
to storage groups and this appears to work but for some reason I cna't get a 2nd tunner to 
record ie it fails to record two shows at once.

I've tested the two cards with mplayer and both still work.

here is a extract of the backend with  trace set @ record, I'n not sure this is a bug or 
some config option which I mistakenly set while trying to solve my prebuffer issues.

The symptom I see is a blank or preview image and no file mpg created

Arr this must be a MythTV problem anyone help track the cause down?

thanks

Note this is a snipet of the bit where the 2nd recording attempts to kick in.
