I think this is the point where you fire up mythfrontend and just
start going through the menus.   If your card(s) are in fact setup
properly and your mythfilldatabase was successful, then you should be
able to schedule some recordings or watch liveTV.

LiveTV is the red-headed step child of the project though, so if you
are unhappy, please do not complain about it until you read the
gossamer-thread archives where it has been beaten to death  :)
