Sounds like you've misconfigured your backend.  This error message 
indicates that mythbackend thinks that the tuner is in a different 
machine (another backend), and it can't contact the backend it thinks 
should be in charge of that tuner.  Re-run mythtv-setup and answer 
"yes' to the first prompt about clearing capture card settings.  Then 
check:

Master Backend IP

It should either be 127.0.0.1 (if you have only a single machine acting 
as both frontend & backend) or it should be the IP address of your 
master backend as visible on your home network.  Now proceed through 
the setup screens and set up your tuner card again.

Also, it helps to have a "correct" network setup.  If your hostname is 
"localhost.localdomain" it could cause problems in the future.  Do 
youself a favor and make sure you have a "real" hostname.
