What I tried to say in my other response was that it seemed that even 
though the GUI didn't show any lineups, one was set in your Video Source:

2012-10-10 13:02:34.624980 I [2853/2853] CoreContext filldata.cpp:600 
(Run) - Updating source #1 (cox) with grabber schedulesdirect1
2012-10-10 13:02:34.625235 I [2853/2853] CoreContext filldata.cpp:620 
(Run) - No channels are configured to use grabber.

However, it's possible that "cox" in that message is actually the Video 
Source name and not the SD lineup name.

For now, please try setting the grabber to "No grabber".  Then, exit 
mythtv-setup and re-enter mythtv-setup.  From there, how I would proceed 
depends on what type of capture device you're using, so I'll need to 
know what you're trying to configure.  (In the meantime, you can see if 
just changing it to "No grabber" and exiting, then going back in jars it 
into working.  Also, you may want to try the "reset all Video 
Source/Channel/Capture Card" approach described at 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 .  If 
the problem is something messed up in your configuration, that will 
remove the misconfiguration, then it's just a matter of re-configuring 
it correctly.)
