Cable loose or not connected at all to both the audio and video connections
enabled.  Remember, when on the command line the ivtv2-ctl command sets
which inputs are being used.  If you're not using those connections, or the
connections are absent or loose, or if a cable is bad, or if *either* audio
or video are missing, the HD-PVR *will not* begin to stream and will throw
the error above.
