That's certainly the most obvious question. Are you in the middle of a 
forest/behind a large construction site/trying to use an an indoor aerial?

What does mythtvsetup show for your Transports?  For a main-service area 
location there should probably be 5 and only 5 SD transports, each with 
a transport-id  and a net-id.  If it's not like that try retuning; see 
eg Ticket #10217 comment 15.  I used an HD tuner for that, but the 
general idea is similar if you have only SD.
