Looks like I am in truly deep doo doo. I've got database problems I
think. I went into mythtv-setup to double check this, and it doesn't
show any of my capture cards at all. If I check the capturecard table
with mysql, I see this:

mysql> select videodevice,cardtype from capturecard where cardid=1;
+-------------+----------+
| videodevice | cardtype |
+-------------+----------+
| /dev/video0 | HDPVR    | 
+-------------+----------+

So the card type looks correct, but something is badly wrong if the
cards do not appear in mythtv-setup. As you might expect, I have a ton
of recordings that I do not want to lose, so I don't want to clear the
entire database. Is there a way to repair this manually? Can I just drop
and recreate the capturecard and cardinput tables, then re-enter all the
tuners, or will that hose something else up?
