[mythtv-users] Can't simultaneously record two programs with 3 (or 4) available tuners v2

[Leif Pihl]

I broke my MythTV.
Bad.

After (re)doing the configurations/settings, I decided to try to record 4-ish programs at the same time, just to see if there would be any conflicts (like in the past, were I could only do one at a time).  

After the half hour -plus was up, I returned to the machine.  I can't remember what was wrong at that time, but I did eventually try to play live TV. 
Instead, what I got was a message something to the effect of "Can not read first 2024K". 
And that's it.  No MythTV Frontend is working. 

Kids due home soon, I'll try to update after 8pm central time.
