You need to make sure you have valid starting channels
for each of your inputs in mythtv-setup, but this isn't
your main problem.

This is your main problem. Your cable provider is telling
MythTV that this television program is encrypted. Since the
HDHomeRun does not do decryption MythTV does tells you it
hasn't found a usable PMT (the lower case 'm'). The good
news is that if you can tune this channel using other
programs that don't check for encryption then you should
be able to do so using the MythTV version in SVN head, so
long as the TS packets are not improperly labeled as well.
