[mythtv-users] Failed recordings tuner?

That isn't working here, apparently because of the Theme I selected.  
I'll further my journey into learning basic programming with the line 
John suggested.  :)

Thought of that; really hate to because whenever its windy and watching 
a weaker station as if it excessively pixellates/looses the signal for 
more than a bit the Backend can lock up.  The good news is it doesn't 
have the lock up issue when recording -- I'll get some psychedelic video 
at times, which truncates the recording time to sometimes almost nil.

As I mentioned in my first reply to Mike, I did replace two short coax 
runs from the 4x splitter to the three tuner inputs.  Hopefully that was 
the issue.
