You have both tunechan (101) and startchan (529) set for your PVR-350
input, which you do not need if using S-Video or composite inputs (I
answered a similar query last week). You only need to specify a
startchan, as no prior tuning is required. Was this value previously
set before your upgrade?

Also, if you terminate your SQL queries with '\G' instead of ';' you
will get the results of the query returned as one field per line,
which makes it much easier and cleaner to post.
