OK - I moved the card to another PCI slot.  Here's the weird thing.

- I can now see action on both DVB cards on the Channel Scanner
- I can watch LiveTV on either of my DVB tuners
- I can _not_ record anything on one of my DVB tuners (the same one
that I moved).

When I try to record, it'll show up in the recordings list, but will
never have a file ready and say the recording is not yet ready.

What the heck?!

Thanks!
