The tuner problem is intermittent.Today it's back.I can't see the cause in  
the logs.
Here's a link to a new mythbackend log
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5RRWPLTmilhZ2lzSHFUZjdsSUk
At 10:33 I selected a channel to watch live from the guide.
At 10:34 I selected to record that channel
PS  The tip from the forum thread corrected the settings utility start  
issue.
