I have a couple dual tuner hdhrs as well, and have not hit your issue,
but I have never manually configured them.  In the example above, are
you saying the IP dotted notation-0 was the name you typed in
manually, or mythtv made it up on it's own?

Asking so I can file it away in my head as another naming convention I
have to keep up with as invalid for one reason or another!

Thanks
