The mythbackend.log seems to say its not receiving anything from your usb 
DVB-T (duration: -9223372036854.775 bitrate=0 kb/s)

I also noticed that the mythfrontend and mythbackend tried to upgrade the 
database.  If they keep trying, it must means it failing.

The mythfrontend is opening OSS device '/dev/dsp' which is fine but you could 
try 'ALSA:default' in mythfrontend settings.

Try this, kill mythfrontend and mythbackend and make sure they're all dead 
(there maybe multiple copies running).  Run mythtv-setup and delete your card 
settings, not your channel settings.  Then reenter your card settings, 
sources and connections.

2006-03-01 00:58:03.592 Using realtime priority.
2006-03-01 00:58:03.683 Video timing method: RTC

From mythfrontend.log your using realtime priority, this may or may not help 
with stuttering.  The RTC video timing method is fine but opengl may be 
better for nvidia.
