My first query is: what is the exact semantics of this field? I notice that in the past<br>

When you configure a capture device with a single input, MythTV will always set the default input properly. However, since kernel drivers have changed over time--in some (many) case(s) changing the input identifiers--this tends to happen when you add cards at different times (though it can happen when adding all cards at the same time if you misconfigure the cards--even if you think you undid the misconfiguration and reconfigured correctly).<br>
<br>
The best way to fix the problem is to use the "Delete all capture cards" (not "Delete all capture cards on <hostname>") portion of <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034" target="_blank">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034</a> . Doing so will have no impact on your Channels or Video Sources (just don't do the "Delete all video sources" portion), and takes only seconds. (I can delete all my capture cards and reconfigure the six of them--spread across 2 backend systems--in about 30 seconds.)<br>

So, my recommendation before you do this make a database backup (using <a href="http://mythconverg_backup.pl">mythconverg_backup.pl</a>) and take notes on your current capture card and input configuration.<br>
