[mythtv-users] No longer tuning channels with Ceton card

[Ronald Frazier]

Mike had sent the following response to me personally, but I thought I'd
share it on the list in case anyone else runs into this. His problem was
related to mythtv starting too quickly, before the ceton driver had
initialized the card. The first tuner failed to initialize, but the other
tuners worked fine. That's why playback worked in livetv but not recordings
(because the default tuner order was different, so live tv was defaulting
to a configured tuner, while recordings were using a failed tuner)
