[mythtv-users] Tuner Unavailable

When you say 'tuner to be available' can you clarify what you mean? 
In a previous post, you state that you could re-enter the tuners:
>I deleted all the tuner information by using mythtv-setup, shut down the SBE, and re-entered tuners for the 500 for just the the MBE. I still got Tuner 1 is unavailable and Tuner 2 is unavailable. 

Where are you seeing the unavailble error?

To clarify the steps I believe you have already done, 
1) Only MBE is on, mysql is running, mythbackend is off, iptables is either off, or correctly configured
2) mythtv-setup was run on the system, with a user that has full access to the filestore and database
3) Under General you have
- The external IP address of the MBE
4) Under capture cards, you have already done a delete all
5) You hit new capture card, select the correct card type, and an ID, Assume here that something appears next to Frontend ID:?
6) Under Input connections, you have mapped a card to a channel selection
7) When you go to channel editor channels appear?
8) You then quit and run mythfilldatabase, and restart mythbackend

Do you have mythweb or a mythfrontend installed to that particular backend? Can you access under system information Tuner status locally? I think you are correct to try and get original things working again first before going to the next stage. I assume that your machines are staticaly addressed and not DHCP? Using hosts not DNS? I ask these because your problems ( I think I saw somewhere) started when you rebooted the MBE and SBE after adding the new frontend.

  At this point I have shut down the new FE and am trying to just get the MBE and SBE to work in the old configuration. Right now I am unable to get any tuner to be available on just those two systems in the original legacy configuration.
