[mythtv-users] HVR-2250 Tuner Not Available

Knew something would break if moved them, not to mention the PATH
correction -- one reason I didn't do anything on my own!  Looked later
at the entire list -- got a bit side-tracked at finding a potential
something at the top -- there's more for the cards listed later.  

Still haven't figured out why the now both the HVR-1600 and HVR-2250
tuners are 'unavailable' according to the Frontend.  I had deleted the
cards in hopes of them re-installing correctly.  No such luck.  Will
take a look a dmesg's log to see if something looks like a candidate.
Isn't workring so can't break it much more! <g>   ...Has to be something
super-simple.
