[mythtv-users] Live TV not working

Hi, I just set up my htpc and I am having some trouble with mythtv. I am
running a Ceton InfiniTV 4 card with Ubuntu 12.10. The card is functioning
properly, as I can tune the channels with the website and view the feeds
via mplayer. I ran through all the setup in MythTV (I set up the myth
control center for .26), setting up the 4 tuners and the video source, then
setting each tuner to use the video source. I ran mythfilldatabase and
everything loaded. Everything looks good with the program guide. I can view
program data and schedule recordings, but when it comes time to record of
view TV it doesn't work. I simply get a message that says "Playback
starting..." for a few seconds, then it goes away. I checked the output of
the log and get the following:

misconfigured.  Check your backend logs to determine whether your capture
cards, lineups, channels, or storage configuration are reporting errors.
This issue is commonly caused by failing to complete all setup steps
properly.  You may wish to review the documentation for mythtv-setup.

I know it is at least attempting to do something, because it tunes the
channel back to channel 1 when I click Watch TV, and if I have mplayer up
it freezes. I tried setting the first-tune station to something other than
1 to see if that did anything but I had no luck.
My last thing to try was to install the drivers for the tuning adapter,
thinking mythTV might use it, even though I didn't see this mentioned
anywhere, but it also had no effect.
I know there are people using this card with MythTV and I purchased all my
hardware specifically to use this setup, so I hope there is someone out
there that can help me. Thanks.
