[mythtv-users] Analog Tuners Always Busy

I have had this problem for a while ever since I ran my box on Fedora 14 and tried unsuccessfully to upgrade to Fedora 17 and the Mythtv version at that time about a year 1/2 ago, 0.24(?) from atrpms.  Now I am using the old mythconverg backup file installed to run on the same box using Ubuntu 14.04 and MythTV 0.27.  

The analog tuners(s) are always busy.  I have a HVR-1600 and a PVR-500.  Same issue.  The boxed worked until I tried to upgrade it.  I can record video using Cat /dev/video0 > temp.mpg.  With my HVR-1600 I was able to watch live TV on the digital channel.

I can tune both cards using ivtv-tune.  It apparently is using the "us-cable" frequency table.  I have tried deleting capture cards, reinstalling etc. to no avail.  What other files and tables can I check? 

Here is the frontend log below using terminal and attempting to use LiveTV.  I have set up the box to run both front and back on same machine with IP address 192.168.1.13.  

Is the problem the us-cable frequency table?  I am trying to hook up to a DCT700 on Fios.  Again, I can record off of this box without using MythTV.  MythTV seems to have issues communicating with the cards(s), whatever one is installed.
