[mythtvnz] NOVA -T 500 only 1 tuner in LiveTV

[Dr. David J. Knowles]

The only thing which springs to mind is to look in myth-setup and check
the DVB card setup.

On the last configuration page of the card input configuration is a
group setting. If both the cards have the same group ID one working may
suppress the other. The normal group ID is DVB0 for card 0 and DVB1. The
group is important as if the card is configured to allow multiple tuners
(I have it set to 5) the group ID is used to group all the tuners
together so that they cannot be split over more than one multiplexor.
