Henrik,

Unless you know what you are doing editing the database directly,
choosing the 'Remove all capture cards' and 'Remove all video sources'
options in mythtv-setup is the best choice, as this will clear out all
card/source information from the database.

Re-add your capture cards and re-create your video sources - one for
DVB and one for the PVR-150, and then re-attach them in Input
Connections. Also make you to have valid starting channels for each
input.

This will restart your card numbering from 1 and should fix your
scheduling and LiveTV problems.

Nick
