 I installed mythbackend version 0.25 on Ubuntu 12.04 and successfully
 recorded and watched several shows.  I am using a Hauppauge HVR-1600 tuner
 that is recording analog cable tv (NTSC).  About two weeks after the
 initial install I recorded another show but when I went to watch it, it
 was just an hour of a blank red screen.  When I ran mythtv-setup and went
 to the tuner card setup section I noticed it said "Failed to open" in the
 Probed info section on my tuner card that I had previously successfully
 configured.  The configuration I am using is Video device: /dev/video0 and
 VBI device /dev/vbi0.  When I looked at the log file for mythtv-setup and
 mythbackend I only see the few entries which I listed below.  I also
 looked at syslog (see entries below) and from what I can tell the OS
 successfully recognized my tuner.  Also, when I look in /dev I see three
 entries which are video0, video24 and video32.  I have since upgraded to
 version 0.26 but mythsetup still does not recognize my card.
