Title:
  LiveTV does not start in new 9.10 & 10.04 installation

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have installed Mythbuntu 9.10 on a machine with 3 MPEG analog cards
  (Hauppage 250s) and a brand new hard disk. This machine is pristine
  and has no previous versions of Mythbuntu installed.

  The installation has gone smoothly and I performed all the necessary
  setup for the backend. This machine is a frontend/backend combination,
  set up as a primary backend with no remote front ends.

  Nevertheless, when the installation was complete and I perform the
  reboot, the front end comes up but attempts to view live TV fail. I
  get a black screen with "Please wait" for a few seconds and then the
  front end menu reappears.

  I have checked the mythfrontend.log file and I am seeing messages like
  the following:

  2010-3-17 20:48:29.069 GetEntryAt(-1) failed.
  2010-3-17 20:48:29.069 EntryToProgram(0@Wed Dec 31 18:00:00 1969) failed to get pginfo
  2010-3-17 20:48:29.069 TV Error: LiveTV not successfully started

  I searched the Internet to gain information about this problem, but
  all information I have found appears to be based on problems that were
  supposedly fixed in this version. Furthermore, solutions suggested for
  this problem do not work.

  Someone will correct me if I am wrong (I'm sure!), but I believe I
  have found a bug in the Mythbuntu v9.10. I have changed no
  directories, permissions to the directories are all correct (they
  should be since they were set during install and I did nothing except
  install, reboot, and attempt to watch TV!). It is clear that something
  in the installation is setting up the system so that "pginfo"
  (whatever that is) cannot be "gotten".

  This bug makes Mythbuntu 9.10 unusable.
