Nick,

1.  Sorry about the size of the last post.

2.  I tried to install the FE and got hung up on mythtv-setup when it 
did not provide the existing video sources or capture cards over the 
network from the MBE or the SBE. At that point, I shut down the FE 
and rebooted the SBE and MBE and the fun started.  I have been 
working with myth for 4 years, work in the computer industry, and am 
a reasonably knowledgeable Fedora Linux person. Myth was running fine 
before I started this and I saw no obvious errors.

3.  First I backed up mythconverg and then ran # mysqlcheck -u root 
-p --repair mythconverg. Everything seems OK.

4. I have run mythtv-setup on the MBE, deleted capture cards for both 
all and for just the MBE, reinstalled the MBE capture card, deleted 
and redefining the video sources, and reattached the video sources to 
the capture card (PVR 500) and then rebooted. I have done this 
multiple times in all the different ways I can think of. No change.

5. All machines are running myth version 0.20.2-172

I believe I have done the obvious stuff which is why I am a little 
frustrated and looking at more drastic steps of preserving state and 
doing a reinstall.  Anything I missed?
