[mythtv-users] digital cable; myth frontend locks up

[Gordon McLellan]

Updating myth solved the locking up problem (yum update /*myth/*), but
i'm still not able to change channels automatically.

I reconfigured the back end, taking away tuner2, leaving only tuner1
and composite1 as configured.  However, on an older myth install which
suffered irrepairable DB damage, I was able somehow to use both
tuners, plus the composite input by removing any over-lapping channels
from my line-ups.  Myth knew to use the composite input for channels >
76, and the analog tuners for 2-76.  But anyway

Here's what the log is showing me now.   It seems to me that Myth
thinks there's a tuner it needs to be controlling, rather than calling
a channel change script.  I've triple checked my config with
mythtv-setup.  Is there something in the database I can look at to
confirm one way or the other it's configured for external tuning
instead of built-in?
