[mythtvnz] New install setup - recording problem

I have left the tuner order as it was in 12.04,all at 1 as it was working  
ok.This may be the problem.
No hardware changes were made to the network or connections.

Here is the Mysql_information

I am unable to use Live TV to view and select tuners because it  
immediately aborts.However I have confirmed a card tuner works with MeTV  
software I have installed (MeTV doesn't appear to allow tuners to be  
selected)and HDHR tuners work with the HDHR configure GUI( I have switched  
HDHR Tuners).All MUXes work ok on both sets of tuners.
In FE Information Center > System Status > Tuner Status the HDHR tuners  
are marked "Not Recording" and the card tuners are marked "Has an error"

I also have another problem you may like to comment on: I have enabled  
Myth Welcome and I am fair sure it worked normally to start with.At the  
moment,when the system boots it boots into the XFCE desktop not the  
Welcome screen.Myth Welcome seems to be running because after the 5 minute  
time out the system shutsdown.If I start Myth FE from the desktop it goes  
to the Myth Welcome screen and I can start the FE from there.

Cheers
