My advice at this stage would be to:

1) Delete all video sources (make sure you choose the Delete All option)
2) Delete all capture cards (choose the Delete All option again)

3) Add your DVB card. Add and configure your DVB video source
including adding your channels from channels.conf. Configure the Input
connection for the DVB card.

4) Exit mythtv-setup and run mythfilldatabase to get some program listings.

5) Startup mythbackend and then mythfrontend and make sure scheduling,
LiveTV and recordings work on your DVB card.

6) _Once this is working_ configure your other cards, adding them in
descending order of preference.

Report back with a story of success :)
