[mythtvnz] New install setup - recording problem

[Nick Rout]

I must say that given your tuner numbering, I suspect you have deleted and
added tuners a bit to get yourself in that state.

I would delete all tuners (delete all capture cards on system) and add them
back, the numbering will start at 1 again and produce a much cleaner and
better operating database. I have seen doing this recommended on
mythtv-user mailing list, and it worked for me when I had some similar
difficulties.

You will not have to retune as you just connect the new tuners to the
existing video sources, which you shouldn't need to delete.
