Why I have no idea.  The symptom is that the tuners are found by MythTV and can scan channels, but MythTV can't tune them.  This is on a Mythbuntu setup.

When running mythtv-setup and you select the option for mythtv-setup to stop the backend (and on exiting to restart it) might be worthwhile checking that it actually does stop the backend. IIRC there is no popup indicating failure to stop the backend everything will just proceed normally.
