Josh, My mythbuntu install has the exact same issue. I have found that
the only way to get mythtv to show live tv is once you boot up your
master backend (and i'd assume slave backend) you have to stop the
mythbackend process.
In mythbuntu run:
sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop
Then from a command line, start mythbackend by running:
sudo mythbackend &
Then try live tv. The & that you put there let's you close the terminal
window without killing the mythbackend process.
Hope that works for you. It's pretty annoying and hopefully the next
version of mythtv will not have this bug. Luckily you only have to do
this when the backend boots up which is pretty rarely.
