Anthony,

Even though you've already "fixed" this by editing the DB, please try 
(only) the capture card portion of:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034

(specifically, the paragraph starting with, "If you ever change capture 
cards or capture card drivers..."--and not the "Delete all video 
sources" stuff) to delete all your capture cards and re-add them and 
make sure they're configured correctly by mythtv-setup.  (We need to 
ensure that these devices will work for everyone without direct DB editing.)

Note that in doing "Delete all capture cards," you won't lose your 
channels or your video sources, so you won't have to rescan for channels 
or anything.  You'll just be redefining your capture cards and 
re-connecting your inputs.

Also, anyone who upgrades to 0.25 should likely do a "Delete all capture 
cards" and then re-configure them to ensure they have proper recording 
and Live TV order set--especially those who used the "break MythTV to 
prioritize Live TV over recordings" (where you add capture cards with 
2-4 multirec inputs, then go back and add one more input to each card).  
The recording and Live TV order are new options in card setup that allow 
you to specify the order in which cards are used for recording and Live TV.

Thanks,
Mike
