Sorry we are not mind readers. How about a log?

Are other programs such as the windows machines or the bluray player
accessing them? -YES

What happened when you scanned for channels? -NOTHING-it did not seem to
help

Definitely sounds like a configuration issue in mythtv. I would start
by doing a "delete all" in your capture cards page in mythtv-setup.
And I would delete all the channels. Finally I would readd the
tuners, scan for channels, and readd your lineups. Finally, you will
likely need to adjust the channel numbers/xmlid's in mythweb (or
though mythsetup) so that your guide data lines up. -I DID "DELETE ALL" and
readded, etc... I even tried it out on extra computers I have. Can't get
the HDHR's to work.

And in addition be sure you are running a recent fixes release
since there was a bug (with the code for the Prime) in (earlier)
0.25 fixes that did not deal with a Prime without a CableCard
(should not have any impact on the Duals). -YES-IT is up to date

Terry, this page http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Silicondust_HDHomeRun might
help, in particular the troubleshooting section. Post some mythtv logs or
snippets of it. Explain what is not working in details. I am sure
someone will be able to help you out.
