Ok, upon further review it turns out that I had selected the wrong type of
capture card - I had selected analog card and not  PVR-x50. I changed it to
that and made sure Tuner 1 was the default tuner, and am almost working. I
say almost because even though I can now tune TV and get audio, my video is
one big green square. I'm outputting at the default 720x480 with nothing
whacky configured, so I'm not sure where the issue lies.I am outputting to
my TV via a VGA cable, but the TV has no problem playing SD tv through
either Tivo, STB or straight in cable. Not sure what's causing this latest
issue. Any ideas?
