I had something like this when I started my system.
It appears that if you let the xmltv schedule capture stuff kick in too
early it can give you some problems.
After asking on the list, I ended up scrubbing the myth database (ie
using the initial mythtvsetup options), and then doing the following:-
* set up a capture card
* set up a video source, but do the absolute minimum here - ie do
not configure any channels and definitely do not run
mythfilldatabase
* link the capture card and the video source
* channel editor - go in and then scan for channels - this will
leave you with a bunch of configured channels.
After this you should find you have a set of working channels. If you do
want to use an xmltv method to get schedule data (rather than the
default of pulling schedule data from the DVB off-air signals), then you
will have to go through each channel in the channel editor turning off
the off-air schedule data and assigning an xmltv identifier.
