Configuring mythtv-backend
      mythtv-setup must be run in order to complete MythTV installation
You must run mythtv-setup as a user in the 'mythtv' group in order to complete mythtv configuration.  Note that this program requires an X display, so you must either login to an X session as a user in the 'mythtv' group, or otherwise arrange that user to have access to your X display.

You must complete all four steps presented in the program.

One you have done this, you may start the backend by executing the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
