<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Why I am getting "failed to open" on the analog tuner?<BR>
<BR>
> This is a clear case of if it's not broken don't fix it. The tuners were working perfectly using Fedora 15 and mythtv 0.25.<BR>
<BR>
> Fedora 17 kernel version:<BR>
> Linux mythsrv 3.4.3-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 18 19:53:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux<BR>

> mythbackend version:<BR>
> MythTV Version : 0.25-6.fc17 (1a671d0)<BR>

Update:<BR>
I was stupid and did not make a backup of the database BEFORE I upgraded to 0.25.<BR>
But I did have a backup of the database from about a month ago. So, I dropped<BR>
the mythconverg database, started from scratch with (mc.sql) and then restored<BR>
the old backup database.<BR>
<BR>
I started the setup process and let mythtv upgrade the database. Now the analog and<BR>
digital tuners show up in the list of tuners. I select the analog tuners and I am<BR>
able to edit them. I do _not_ get the "failed to open" message. I close<BR>
mythtv-setup and start mythbackend. I can record/watch live tv on the analog and<BR>
digital tuners.<BR>
