Well... You can now laugh at me, the supposedly problem-free user...
I managed to get my nova-t-500 to lose a tuner too! MythTV was recording on tuner 1. I was channel surfing on tuner 2. After flipping through a few channels, I got a black screen. I looked at the logs. MythTV is complaining that the file it uses to watch TV (in fact you never watch the stream from the card, MythTV records the channel in a file, then plays that file) is invalid. You bet it is invalid, it's mostly not there, or with a size of zero. I guess that the tuner became non-responsive and thus outputs nothing. Getting out of "LiveTV" and coming back does not fix it. Trying to go to another channel serves no purpose, MythTV must be desperately trying to get any sort of response from the tuner before sending it any new command. That was a long "me too", but a "me too" all the same. Dang ! Oh, my reception quality that used to be ugly has been fixed. I am now a user of a 26dB gain masthead amplifier. My signal strength took a 25% improvement, BER and UNC are zero on all channels. Still using the internal LNA, though; I haven't tried doing without it.
