The two shows at the same time looks like several things happened. The
ivtv driver appears to have had a problem:
    ivtv0 warning: Error starting capture ...:  1 Time(s)
    ivtv0 warning: init error 21. Code -16 ...:  1 Time(s)

Then when I tried to dig into the issue I did a restart on the
mythbackend service and it would keep dying with an error:
    Failed to bind port 6543. Exiting.

It took a reboot to clear things up.
