Comment:

 I had this same problem with my HD PVR.  I did a fresh install of
 Mythbuntu 14.04 on a new machine while my current 12.04 box was working.
 I could not get recordings or live tv to go past 20% or 60% lock.  Note a
 channel change error (direct_http2.pl) would cause a signal lock of 0%.

 Nothing I did would work.  I found this in a thread and manually changed
 my database after comparing the two.  This is indeed the cause of the
 issue.  I changed "inputname" in CardInput to "Composite"  and after a
 reboot it immediately started working.  For the HDPVR the I don't know of
 a "Television" input setting, the settings are 0=composite, 1,=svideo,
 2=composite.
 This feels like a valid bug to me.  It seems like there is an issue
 causing it to default to "Television".

 As a note, I am running the latest firmware for the HDPVRs on all of them.

 I have used myth since the early days (compiling :) ) so I know my way
 around it.  Not saying I didn't do something wrong during setup, but I
 have been setting it up for a long time and did the same thing over and
 over again.  I have never had this issue in the past.  If it is a setup
 option I would say that it is not an obvious one and people who are new
 will make it and just give up.  This took me 2 days (of solid work) to
 figure it out.

 Thanks to those who reported it.  My wife (who has not had tv for 3 days)
 and I thank you.  It helped me get TV going again!!!
