FWIW, this has been an issue in many versions of MythTV.  No one has yet 
identified the cause, but the simple "fix" is to simply restart your 
system (backends/frontends).

And there are many known issues with the "need the tuner" popup you 
describe (including not necessarily doing what you ask or leaving stuff 
in Live TV or ...).  It's quite possible this is the source of the bad 
data that confuses MythWeb
