I deleted my old cards because they no longer worked after I upgraded to .30.  I went to add them back and they are not in the list.....

I'd start with this:

   mythbackend --version | grep --color=always using_hdhomerun

Expect to see using_hdhomerun highlighted in red. If that's not there,
then the MythTV software wasn't build with HD Homerun libraries available.

If that's OK, then:

   locate libhdhomerun.so

Expect to see something like this:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhdhomerun.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhdhomerun.so.4
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhdhomerun.so.4.0.0

If you don't have the locate command, you may be able to install it,
or use find.
