[mythtv] DVB problem - No PIDS set, please correct your channel setup

I just upgraded qt3 and compiled and installed the latest mythtv from
cvs, and the backend + frontend successfully starts and connects to sql
server.

Now I can't watch TV anymore. I tried mythtv-setup, cleared all capture
card and channel settings. Then added the DVB cards, video source, input
connections. Then did mythfilldatabase --manual to manually add my
channels. Then did ./channels.conf-import.pl to import my channel
frequencies from a generated channels.conf file. Normally, this would
have worked with the old mythtv before upgrading it.

Now, when I try to watch tv, mythbackend.log shows this:

Does the new version handle channels differently to the old version or
something? Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this?

Also, when I go into Channel Editor, there is no "Scan for channel(s)" 
button, as seen in the www.digitalregime.com/mythdvb screenshots.

My /usr/bin/mythtv-setup executable was not updated with make install

Thanks heaps :)
