Really, Myth doesn't support a configuration that includes a card with 
no connected inputs.  Often, it works when you set up Myth, then--for no 
apparent reason--at some point in the future, things just stop working.

And, yeah, if the problem is the defined-but-not-used card, that's the 
right fix (no need to do the Video Sources portion--just like Nick 
said).  The only qualification is that this time you should /not/ define 
the card that Myth isn't using.
