No, the backend created them because the frontend requested LiveTV.

Because the frontend is asking for LiveTV, not recording of a specific 
channel.

Yep.

Yep, but not the channels you've configured on the cards you've configured.

Because of the above.

Not quite.

Nope.  The reason I recommend the start-over approach with video source 
(and, therefore, channel) configuration and sometimes also the 
start-over approach with capture cards is because there are so many ways 
it can be misconfigured that it's not worth trying to figure out what's 
wrong.  It's also the same reason I never fix a Windows installation 
that doesn't work properly--it's quicker and easier to reinstall from 
scratch (though what I'm suggesting is more akin to reinstalling from an 
image since setting up video sources/capture cards only takes a couple 
of minutes).
