Since then the system has been disassembled in order to fit an SSD.  At 
some stage during the rebuild process I DID have the HDHR running again 
but not now.

1.	Power supply changed.
2.	Firmware downloaded and updated to 2015 08 26 (again).
3.	HDHR configuration gui installed and running.
4.	That config program finds TV transmissions which VLC displays.
5.	Myth B/E set-up: delete all tuners then install HDHR.
6.	Tuning process finds ~150 channels.
7.	Restart the m/c.
8.	Myth F/E live TV falls back immediately to the basic menu.
9.	System status show 6 tuners not recording (3 recs each).
7.	Unsurprisingly recordings on the HDHR also fail to capture the 
transmission before timing out.

In short the HDHR is ignoring the Myth F/E.  I am sure there is a 
software switch or configuration option somewhere which is disabling the 
HomeRun with MythTV.  Anyone know what might be the problem?
