Here's my backend log from a Live TV session I just tried:

2009-07-12 21:06:17.272 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback
2009-07-12 21:06:17.275 adding: elm.edwards.home as a client (events: 0)
2009-07-12 21:06:17.278 TVRec(11): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2009-07-12 21:06:17.285 TVRec(11): HW Tuner: 11->11
2009-07-12 21:06:18.407 CalcParams(): Max required Free Space: 3.0 GB
w/freq: 8 min
2009-07-12 21:06:25.649 TVRec(11): Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None
2009-07-12 21:06:25.687 Finished recording The Pursuit of Happyness:
channel 1009
2009-07-12 21:06:25.692 scheduler: Finished recording: The Pursuit of
Happyness: channel 1009

Can't see anything that jumps out as a problem here to indicate why it
can't get a lock on the DVB-T signal.

PS - my mythbackend logging in /etc/sysconfig/mythbackend is:
LOG_OPTS='important,general,schedule,record,channel'
