[mythtv-users] from PCI to network tuners

[Daryl McDonald]

Thanks Bill:
daryl at trieli:~$ sudo /usr/local/bin/hdhomerun_check.py
daryl at trieli:~$ cat /var/log/mythtv/hdhr_discovery.log
2022-01-28 13:05:45 INFO Starting HD Homerun discovery
2022-01-28 13:05:45 INFO Found HD Homerun. Seconds=0.428, attempts=1.

After a few stops and starts:
daryl at trieli:~$ cat /var/log/mythtv/hdhr_discovery.log
2022-01-28 13:05:45 INFO Starting HD Homerun discovery
2022-01-28 13:05:45 INFO Found HD Homerun. Seconds=0.428, attempts=1.
daryl at trieli:~$
and FE info shows tuners unavailable

I uncommented "Service" and added
"ExecStartPre=/usr/local/bin/hdhomerun_check.py" right below it
I think the permissions are correct:
daryl at trieli:~$ ls -al /usr/local/bin/hdhomerun_check.py
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1875 Jan 28 12:59 /usr/local/bin/hdhomerun_check.py
daryl at trieli:~$
maybe it should not be owned by root?

after a recent reboot FE shows one of two tuners available, I want to be
able to check for two dual HDHRs eight potential tuners

Evidentially it is not running on startup:
daryl at trieli:~$ cat /var/log/mythtv/hdhr_discovery.log
2022-01-28 13:05:45 INFO Starting HD Homerun discovery
2022-01-28 13:05:45 INFO Found HD Homerun. Seconds=0.428, attempts=1.
2022-01-28 13:44:23 INFO Starting HD Homerun discovery
2022-01-28 13:44:23 INFO Found HD Homerun. Seconds=0.426, attempts=1.
daryl at trieli:~$

but working well from the command line.  What have I missed?
