    Fixing Capture Card Setup Errors

When removing or adding new capture cards in MythTV setup the database 
table can become corrupted- causing errors such as "Tuner x set to start 
on channel 0 which does not exist", etc. To fix this problem you will 
need your /mysql mythtv user's/ password.

If you do not know the password, you can find it in the frontend 
machine's main user's home directory:

    *

      $ cat ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt

Then:

    * Run mythtv-setup
    *

      Delete *all* video sources

    *

      Delete *all* capture cards

    * Exit mythtv-setup
    * Open a terminal and do:

      $ mysql mythconverg -u mythtv -p

When prompted, enter the /*mysql*/ password-

At the mysql prompt, do:

    *

      > truncate table capturecard;
      > truncate table cardinput;
      > quit

Then run mythtv-setup again and configure your capture card and video 
source(s).
