Everything was working great, then I tried to setup myth to allow a MediaMVP to boot an image...now I can't watch LiveTV :( It just goes black and freezes the machine, can't even ssh in without a reboot.

I can't find anything in the logs.

Ideas?

Ok, so it's not live tv exactly, it's whenever tuner 2 tries to record. Unfortunately, I found this out by scheduling two shows...now my machine locks up, I reboot, and it freezes as soon as it starts recording.

How can I boot the machine to remove the recordings without the backend starting?

Hi,

Even if the machine appears to be "frozen" it may only be one of the "ends" that is at issue. I would try to ssh (or gasp, putty) into it to look around at the logs. Also I would try to cancel the recordings via mythweb.

Hardware wise, power off and pull the tuner card(s) That will stop the recording process so you can examine logs.

Hi
Try removing just one tuner card, then swap and try again. Could be a bad card screwing with the irqs.
