I suggest first shut down the backend, then open a terminal window and
run mythtv-setup. See if there are any error messages in the terminal
window. If you are running mythbuntu or mythtv installed from the
ubuntu packages you may need to run mythtv-setupreal or something like
that as they may have created a script around mythtv-setup and renamed
the actual mythtv-setup as something with real on the end.
