Correct. "North America (SchedulesDirect.org) (Internal)"

I did some further investigation and it appears that the issue is simply a
display issue in mythtv-setup. Once I had a period where the system was not
recording anything, I rebooted the MBE and once restarted, both SBE1's and
SBE2's tuners were visible and had shows scheduled on them. I'll know for
sure that everything is working tonight, once I have a chance to look at
some shows that have been recorded on both tuners.

I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. I can easily
replicate it on both of my slave backends. 

1) Open mythtv-setup
2) Go to "3. Video Sources"
3) Select a video source that is tied to SchedulesDirect internal grabber
(in my case "Analog Cable")
4) Listed as "Data Direct Lineup:" I see bogus information "0005370:-"
5) Pressing "Retrieve Lineups" button refreshes the "Data Direct Lineup:"
display to read correctly.
6) Select your correct lineup from the list and press the "Finish" button.
7) Press "Esc" to exit the "Video sources" selection screen.
8) Press "Esc" to exit the "Home" screen.
9) An error message is diplayed that reads "Card 0 (type ) is set to start
on channel 2, which does not exist. Do you want to fix this problem?"
10) Selecting "Yes please" will take you back to step 2 above and repeats
exactly as listed.
11) Selecting "No, I know what I am doing" will exit mythtv-setup and
everything will work as intended.

This is all with the atrpms build mythtv-setup-0.20.2-165.el5

Can anyone else running that build verify that they see the same thing?

Thanks,
Shawn Flynn

P.S. As soon as I have my next 'non-recording' window I'll do a 'Delete all
cards' and try to set everything up from scratch again to see if I get the
same results. I've been reading this list long enough to know that'll be the
next thing you suggest Michael. ;)
