I'll fix this, but it is nothing to worry about. It complains because it
is given a streaming URL rather than a filename. But this is just the
preview generator. The worst that can happen is you don't get a preview
of the recording.

This is a problem. Did you get your channels from a recent scan with a
recent SVN checkout, or some other way? This is saying that the transport
doesn't contain the channel you want to record. It will print out messages
like this until the recording is finished or you cancel the recording.
In LiveTV you should be given a dialog that tells you how to change to
another channel. (Answer in mythtv-users, I'll look for your reply there.)

If it isn't checked for a channel you won't get any EIT EPG for that channel,
if it isn't checked for a source you won't get any EIT EPG for that source.
If no EIT data is available, or it is reported as being invalid then you
won't get it even with both checkboxes checked.
