Hmmmm,
I just went in to mythtv-setup and did a 'full' tune on both of my
digital tuners.
This seemed to work, apart from when I tried to tune the second tuner it just
sat there without picking up any signal and tuning?
So, I used escape to go out of this, then I came out of mythtv-setup
and ran it again.
This time when I selected the second tuner card it seemed to tune it
as expected.

Now when I watch live TV it seems that many of my channels are blank?

Did I miss something? It's a while since I have needed to do this.

Thanks
Mike
