[mythtv-users] Un-connected video source

I have two video sources defined:
  Comcast-analog
  Broadcast

I have a PVR-250 and a pcHDTV-2000 card.

However, currently I've only told Myth about the PVR-250, so the
"Broadcast" video source has no capture card associated with it.  This
causes problems.  All the "Broadcast" channels still show up in the
program guide.  But much worse, if I accidentally set a recording for an
HDTV show, the backend crashes immediately.  Attempting to restart the
backend results in an immediate crash.

The solution in my case was to run mythsetup and associate the Broadcast
source with an input.  Then I could cancel the offending recording and
everything was fine again.
