    <p>I tried one more thing, but no success. I first setup success
      fully 2 HDHR tuners normally and XMLTV json lite and got the EPG
      and tuners working. Then I deleted all tuners and added 2 external
      recorder tuners using the mythhdhrrecorder script.  Because the
      EPG had been setup before I could at least get the backend to
      think it was setup okay so I could exit. But when I was running, I
      could not tune to a Live TV channel.</p>
