[mythtv-users] Workarounds for multiple HVR-950Q not tuning

I seem to have this problem, and I only have one 950Q. I notice the problem
occasionally after a reboot. The symptom in mythtv is "partial lock" and the
symptom in w_scan is something like "no DVB device found" (sorry, didn't
write it down last time). The workaround is the same: kill mythbackend,
unplug the 950Q, replug, (I usually check it with w_scan first), then
restart mythbackend.

Strangely, I stumbled across this thread because I was thinking of getting a
second 950Q and I wanted to make sure there were no problems having two.

Anyway, let me know if I can help. My hardware is an Atom D510.
