That said, I'll attempt an answer:

The fact that you're getting a "Remote encoder not responding" message 
suggest to me that you might have something awry in your database.  
From your message I'm guessing that you're running a single machine as 
a combined frontend/backend, yet the backend thinks that the TV card -- 
well, TV card #1 anyway -- is on another machine.  I'd be interested to 
see the contents of your capturecard table:

mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg

mysql> select * from capturecard ;
