Multi-rec was working on all tuners prior to my installing Mint 18. I'll go turn off multi-rec and see if that helps.

# If you intend to use authentication for MythWeb (see below), you will
# probably also want to uncomment the following rules, which disable
# authentication for MythWeb's download URLs so you can properly stream
# to media players that don't work with authenticated servers.
#
# <LocationMatch .*/pl/stream/[0-9]+/[0-9]+>
# Allow from all
# </LocationMatch>
#
# <LocationMatch .*/music/stream.php>
# Allow from all
# </LocationMatch>
#
# CHANGE THESE PATHS TO MATCH YOUR MYTHWEB INSTALLATION DIRECTORY! e.g.
#
# /var/www
# /home/www/htdocs
# /var/www/html/mythweb/mythweb
# /srv/www/htdocs/mythweb
#
<Directory "/var/www/html/mythweb/data">
# For Apache 2.2
#Options -All +FollowSymLinks +IncludesNoExec
# For Apache 2.4+
Options +FollowSymLinks +IncludesNoExec

############################################################################
# I *strongly* urge you to turn on authentication for MythWeb. It is disabled
# by default because it requires you to set up your own password file. Please
# see the man page for htdigest and then configure the following four directives
# to suit your authentication needs.
#
# AuthType Digest
# AuthName "MythTV"
# AuthUserFile /var/www/htdigest
# Require valid-user
# BrowserMatch "MSIE" AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack=On
# Order allow,deny
# Satisfy any
#
# * If you're running Apache earlier than 2.2, you will need to use
# the AuthDigestFile command instead of AuthUserFile (3rd line above).

############################################################################
# Some special instructions for the MythWeb controller files
#
<Files mythweb.*>
#
# Use the following environment settings to tell MythWeb where you want it to
# look to connect to the database, the name of the database to connect to, and
# the authentication info to use to connect. The defaults will usually work
# fine unless you've changed mythtv's mysql.txt file, or are running MythWeb on
# a different server from your main backend. Make sure you have mod_env enabled.
#
# This is unneeded due to the upnp setup via the backend
#
setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "b0RhwvPj"
#
# By default, MythWeb uses the hostname program to look up the hostname of the
# machine it runs on. If this reports incorrect data, or you run MythWeb on a
# machine without the hostname program, set this to your current hostname.
#
# setenv hostname "my_mythbox"
#
# By default, php will always search the current directory for include files,
# but if you wish to install these directories outside of the current path
# (eg. for security reasons), set this variable to the directory that
# contains the directories like languages and templates. eg.
#
# setenv include_path "/usr/share/mythweb"
# If you want MythWeb to email php/database errors (and a backtrace) to you,
# uncomment and set the email address below.
#
# setenv error_email "mythweb_errors at example.com"
#
# If your local file system is something other than UTF-8, set this variable
# so that the music and video portions of MythWeb can provide proper links
# to your downloadable files.
#
# setenv fs_encoding "ISO-8859-1"

# The following settings relate to PHP config.
#
<Files *.php>
# These settings are intended for apache 2.x. If your version of apache
# doesn't support php_value, or things like memory_limit aren't working
# as expected, then use these settings as examples for your own php.ini
# files.
# php_value safe_mode 0
# php_value register_globals 0
# php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0
php_value file_uploads 0
php_value allow_url_fopen On
php_value zlib.output_handler Off
# php_value output_handler NULL
# If you have a large number of channels, you may need to increase
# this value to prevent PHP from running out of memory during
# searches. The default is 64M.
php_value memory_limit 64M
# php_value memory_limit 128M
# php_value memory_limit 256M
# php_value memory_limit 512M
# If you have a large number of channels, php may timeout creating
# complex pages, so you will need to increase the amount of time
# php has to create the page. The default is 30 seconds.
php_value max_execution_time 30
# php_value max_execution_time 60
# php_value max_execution_time 120
# Note: php_flag does not work in older versions of php
# php_flag output_handler "NULL"
php_value display_startup_errors On
php_value display_errors On

# The settings below relate specifically to mod_rewrite and the rewrite
# engine used to make the MythWeb user experience a little easier to deal
# with by simplifying the URLs needed to access the various sections. Do
# not touch these settings unless you really know what you're doing..
#
# Turn on the rewrite engine
RewriteEngine on
# If MythWeb is installed outside of the document root (eg. using Alias) then
# you will need to set this directive to the base URL that MythWeb is visible
# from externally. If you do not, the web server will return 'not found'.
# RewriteBase /mythweb
# Skip out early if we've already been through rewrites,
# or if this is a /css/, /js/ or /cache/ directory request.
RewriteRule ^(css|data|images|js|themes|skins|README|INSTALL|[a-z_]+\.(php|pl))(/|$) - [L]
# Redirect /pl/ requests to the perl cgi handler.
RewriteRule ^(pl(/.*)?)$ mythweb.pl/$1 [QSA,L]
# Redirect most of the remaining URL requests to the main mythweb script.
# It will then handle any requests given to it.
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ mythweb.php/$1 [QSA,L]
# If you're experiencing trouble with the previous two lines in your copy of
# apache, you could instead use something like:
# RewriteRule ^(pl(/.*)?)$ mythweb.pl?PATH_INFO=/$1 [L,QSA]
# RewriteRule ^(.+)$ mythweb.php?PATH_INFO=/$1 [L,QSA]
# Catch anything else that comes through and send it to mythweb.php with no parameters.

# You really shouldn't need to edit anything below this line, so please
# don't unless you know what you're doing.
#
# Allow .htaccess to override whatever it wants from the server config.
AllowOverride All
# Allow browsers to follow symlinks that point outside of the web document
# tree. This is how we access music, videos, etc.
Options FollowSymLinks
# MythTV now uses the correct file suffix for mpeg files, so all .nuv files
# should actually be NuppleVideo. However, apache probably doesn't know what
# those are, so we should tell it.
AddType video/nuppelvideo .nuv
# Specify the MIME type for favicon.ico in case the server configuration
# doesn't or in case the server configuration uses the IANA-approved MIME type
# (image/vnd.microsoft.icon)--which most browsers won't recognize.
AddType image/x-icon .ico
# Enable mod_deflate. This works MUCH more reliably than PHP's built-in
# gzip/Zlib compressors. It is disabled here because many distros seem not
# to enable mod_deflate by default, but I strongly recommend that you
# enable this section.
#
# BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
# BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip

#
# AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
# AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
# AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
# This is helpful for mod_deflate -- it prevents proxies from changing
# the user agent to/from this server, which can prevent compression from
# being enabled. It is disabled here because many distros seem not to
# enable mod_headers by default, but I recommend that you enable it.
#
# Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
# Set up the perl handler so we can stream properly. Do not use mod_perl
# because it has a tendency to hold onto child processes, which causes
# problems if the browser closes on an in-progress stream.
