 Previous versions of MythTV (0.23 and earlier) allowed the backend to run
 without any capture card defined.

 This allows the user to install the packages, use the software a little
 bit (albeit without TV functions, just videos, music, pictures) and then
 configure TV later.

 I know there is now a dummy capture card, but it doesn't make sense to set
 that for all default installs.

 Just commenting out the scheduler code that throws an error allows the
 backend to run.  The frontend actually tells the user when they go to
 watch TV that no capture card is defined.
