[mythtv-users] My HDHomerun stopped working with MythTV, but ok in Windows

Okay, did some tests:
1) Using the linux hdhomerun_config_gui.
Everything looks good (just like in Windows). So it appears not to be
a hardware issue, and also appears to be MythTV-specific.
2) New power wart.
As I mentioned in my first post, this has already been tried.
3) Dying NIC
I did an ifconfig -a and saw 0 dropped packets and 0 errored packets
on all interfaces. Plus, my during successful hdhomerun_config_gui
attempt listed above, I seemed to be getting a pretty acceptable
picture with around 15-20 Mbps data transfer rate.
4) I tried deleting ALL tuners in MythTV and then readding them
Oddly, seemed to help briefly, but then returned 15-20 minutes later.
I am not 100% sure, but it may have coincided with a Hauppauge HD-PVR
that was not reconfigured correctly. I tried to replicate the
conditions (removing either my HD-PVR or HVR-850 from MythTV) but the
HDHomerun is still acting up.
My next theory is to drop all listing sources and tuners and readd
everything again. Maybe it's a tuning frequency table thing?
5) optimize_mythtvdb.pl
Also have run this a few times. My backend has been shutting down due
to overheating lately, even while flagging only a single show . I
suspect the thermal paste needs reapplication. However, I also
suspect the MythTV is trying to commflag the glitchy HDhomerun
recordings and it is consuming alot of CPU trying to process it.
