I don't think it's changed anything.

However, I am (hoping) seeing much better results by removing
one of the FW STBs entirely -- disconnecting it from the cable.

The two possibilities that occur to me:

- faulty STB. I'll replace it and see what happens.
- bug in MythTV or the FW drivers.

Has anyone else had problems driving two FW tuners?
