It's a group issue. /dev/dvb was owned by root:video. I changed the
group to mythtv and am able to use the digital tuner. I wasn't able to
open the analog tuner to add it.

# groups mythtv

mythtv Hauppauge HVR-1600 Problem with capture cards

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv

1) 10.04 Alpha

2) mythtv-backend:
  Installed: 0.23.0~trunk23567-0ubuntu3

3) cx18 module is loading without errors, and I can record video by $cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg, so mythtv should not be reporting any errors when it starts, or when a frontend tries to start watching live tv, and it should record scheduled recordings on the cards 2 available inputs.

4) mythtv system status log entries are filling up with:

Problem with capture card
Card 1failed init

Trying to watch live tv gives this error message:

Error: MythTV is using all inputs, but there are no active recordings?

Also, the backend is not recording any scheduled recordings.

5) Additional information: I rebuilt the module and reinstalled the firmware for it following the instructions here:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-1600

but mythtv still is reporting the same errors.
