The interesting part should be when the backend first wakes up to tune the
station and begin the record, up through the first of the messages like the
excerpt you posted.  All I can tell from the above is that it looks like it
is having problems getting data from your tuner (/dev/video0).  Can you post
that section of the log file?  It doesn't have to be large.  Also, what type
of tuner card do you have?
