This is supposed to happen. You're getting redirected to a "please  
sign in" type of page after your initial attempt fails. Then a second  
attempt is made and it works.

It specifically asks for your login and password to schedules direct.

...which you have provided correctly.

This looks like the user you're running as does not have a valid  
config file.

This looks like you haven't assigned the correct input with your  
listing source in mythtv-setup. Basically, you've told mythtv to  
create a lineup, but haven't told it which video capture card input to  
use with that lineup. At least, that's my guess without knowing how  
you've set everything up.

This looks like you haven't installed the mythtv perl bindings.
