[mythtv-users] Failed recordings tuner?

Hi Mike!

OK, makes sense the tuners 'move' around.  ...Went to Mythbuntu Control 
Centre to enable to the "MythTV Backend Log" -- dum-de-dummm... "Bad API 
request, maximum paste file size exceeded".    ...The good news is there 
are only four tuners and three coax lines (one's a dual tuner).  
"Noticed" two of the cables were of the slide on/slightly skinny type 
(why on Earth did I use those??!!); swapped in better cable -- probably 
RG-6/U (definately not RG-59/U -- hope I remember my numbers correctly). 
_femon_ indicated a much better signal strength ; unfortunately I had 
originally tested in the morning and then did the swap after dinner and 
then ran _femon_ again.

I'll have to take a look.  As for the repair, um, yea.  OTOH, we all 
have to learn somehow! :)
