You're using a too-old build of 0.24-fixes.  You need one from May 30 or 
after if you're running on a Linux kernel 2.6.38-based distro.  Jarod 
said that he pushed a build with a new-enough version of MythTV 
0.24-fixes, but I don't know which repo or how to get it, so I'll leave 
some Fedora users to help you.
