Ok, so after chgrp'ing /dev/video* from video to mythtv, I could add the
analog tuner, but in the mythtv-setup screen under the ivtv section, it
said 'failed to open' until I manually typed in /dev/video0. Then the
screen updated to show it was using the cx18 driver and Tuner1. Not sure
why it didn't work with /dev/dvb/* and /dev/video* in the video group,
since mythtv was a member of the video group, but my system works again,
so I am happy.

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.
