What happens when you execute the following command and try again:

echo "DELETE FROM settings "\
"WHERE value = 'VbiFormat' "\
"AND hostname != NULL;" | mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg
mythbackend --clearcache

If that doesn't work, run mythtv-setup on one of your systems and 
(re)set the "VBI Format" appropriately, then try again.  If that doesn't 
work, try shutting down your system (all frontend/backend programs):

echo "DELETE FROM settings "\
"WHERE value = 'VbiFormat';" | mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg

then run mythtv-setup and set the appropriate value for "VBI Format", 
then restart your system (all backends/frontends) and try again.

"VBI Format" is in General settings under "Locale Settings" (page 2? or so).
