[mythtv-users] FW load problem after replacing Hauppauge cards

I've replaced a questionable -150 and -500 (in ascending PCI slots)
with a replacement pair of semi-identical used cards, and I'm having FW
loading error messages, and my third tuner shows up in tuner status as
Error.

syslog went from:

I'm going to Delete All Cards and retry, but I don't know that that will 
help; this sounds like it's at the hardware level.  Anything look obvious
to anyone about what's borked?

Myth correctly autodetected video0 as a -150, and 1 and 2 as the two halves
of a -500...

Cheers,
