All you did there was configure the plugin, but you have no backend to 
point to.  OpenELEC is meant more as an easy way to get XBMC.  (OpenElec 
Wiki: "OpenELEC is built from the ground up specifically for one task, 
to run XBMC.")

If you really want to use the tuner, you need to ditch OpenELEC and 
instal Linux using Mythbuntu.  You can just install the backend and use 
XBMC exclusively, or install a backend/frontend combo and set up a Myth 
menu item to launch XBMC as desired.  This is exactly how I have our 
system set up and it works fine.
