Quickly checking your logs, the following errors stand out:

You do not appear to have your channels and/or program guide
information correctly setup. Your logs state that channel 100 could
not be set, so this is probably the first place to start looking. Use
the Channel Editor in mythtvsetup.

Make sure that the starting channel for the input source exists, that
the channels you have defined for your Composite1 input are correctly
setup (channum and freqid especially), and that mythfilldatabase is
grabbing program listings for the correct channels.
