[mythtvnz] New install setup - recording problem

[Paulgir]

O
If the HDHRs are still not working, you could install Wireshark and
capture all the traffic to them from MythTV.  That might give us some
clues as to what the problem is.  And do a separate capture of the
traffic when they work using their setup tools or me-tv, for
comparison purposes.

Won't setting the number of tuners (virtual) to 1 force the use of 4  
hardware tuners to tune 4 programmes?
