Hi,

Your problem is with the following log-message: "ChannelBase: Could not
find input: Tuner 0 on card when setting channel 61".

In 0.4.x the input numbers start with 0, in 0.6.x and higher the input
numbers start with 1.

You can either delete and reconfigure you capturecards in Myth, or you can
go into the database with something phpmysqladmin and modify the names by
hand in the 'cardinput' table. Not shure if there are any other locations,
perhaps in the 'settings' too, can't remember...

Stanley.
