Hi;

I'd stop my backend manually first. Then do:

     sudo lsof /dev/dvb/adapter?/frontend?

before starting mythtv-setup to see if anything
else is accessing your card(s.) Adjust the above
for you card's /dev filename.

You could also run:

    mythtv-setup -v general --loglevel debug --nodblog --quiet --logpath /tmp

and then: pastebinit /tmp/mythtv-setup.201302..........
