If only someone would have told you to, "Fix the associations of video 
sources to inputs in mythtv-setup," four replies ago.  ;)  In other 
words, just because you think it's impossible for someone's suggested 
fix to work, it doesn't mean you should ignore it.  After all, it's your 
system that wasn't working.  :)

Not intending to pick on you, specifically, but I'm tired right now, and 
am amazed at how many good suggestions are ignored because, "that can't 
possibly work," or, "my configuration is correct, but Myth still doesn't 
work."  So, I'm hoping to use this example to encourage people to think 
carefully before dismissing a suggested fix outright.

Oh, and the "Parser not found" message is nothing to worry about.

Enjoy your shiny new MythTV 0.19 system.  :)
