It sounds like your programme listing source is associated with the
composite input, rather that the tuner input.

Run through the backend setup again (mythtvsetup), dont delete cards
or channels, and one of the screens [I forget which one] lets you
associate a listing source with an input.  Make sure that input is
Tuner0

Good Luck
