Yes, the device setup seems fine. I was mixing up the multirec card<br>
numbers with the physical card numbers. Your full log makes it clear<br>
that there are two multirec tuners per physical tuner and they seem<br>
assigned correctly.<br>
<br>
The idea that the tuners are not ready when mythbackend starts is<br>
quite plausible when booting from an SSD. Systemd makes the startup<br>
faster too, and the tuners take a while to load their firmware.<br>
Fortunately, it is easy just to restart mythbackend once booting is<br>
complete and mythfrontend is running. If the tuners work then, that<br>
race condition is the problem and you will need to adjust the systemd<br>
rules for mythbackend startup so that it waits for the tuner devices.<br>
Take a look at this page for suggestions about how to do it:<br>

<br>
In Mythbuntu 16.04, if you want to make any changes to the systemd<br>
mythtv-backend.service file, you can apparently just use "override<br>
files". See here:<br>

<br>
I have not tried that yet, so I do not know how well it works.<br>
<br>
If override files do not work, or the changes are too great, you need<br>
to copy mythtv-backend.service from /lib/systemd/system to<br>
/etc/systemd/system and modify it there. And when mythbackend gets<br>
updated, you need to check if there were any changes in the<br>
/lib/systemd/system version of the file that need to also be done in<br>
the /etc/systemd/system copy.<br>

I'll correct my last statement.I had stopped and started mythbackend via the GUI many times and did not see a change in the tuner status.<br>
I just stopped and started mythbackend via cli and the status in mythfrontend info changed from "tuner x has an error" to "tuner x is not recording".<br>
Mythbackend.log looks like this:<br>

I don't have an .xmltv config file at the moment so I was unable to check the actual tuning of stations.<br>
<br>
I think we may be getting somewhere.<br>
Modifying Systemd_mythbackend_Configurat<wbr>ion looks daunting.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
