Thanks to the suggestions, I have removed the card and this fixed the 
'exiting' problem becuase of the defined, non-existent cards.

Originally I diconnected the tuners from the input.

Regards,


BC.

How did you disable the card? In mythtv setup, I suggest you remove
the card altogether, and if/when you can re-add it, you just go into
setup and add it back. Myth doesn't deal well with having tuners setup
that don't exist.
