Are you getting your guide data from SchedulesDirect? You mentioned  
that you scanned your channels but if you're getting guide data from  
SD then you should be fetching analog channels, not scanning them.  
Getting a black screen is likely a tuning error, but you'd get more  
information from the log that mythbackend generates.

As far as your TVTime error, I'm guessing it actually is a permissions  
error. You probably had mythbackend running (as a service) when you  
tried to use TVTime to capture video. Only 1 application at a time can  
access an ivtv video device.
