Around line 232 in the frontend log, it says:

I take it you've got your cablecard activated?

Each of the three tuners in your HDHRp need to be configured, 
including (1) an attached video source and (2) a valid start channel. 
Stop the backend and go back through MythTV-Setup again.  The 
following wiki page section may be useful:

If you want to use the hdhomerun_config utility, you can install it 
with MacPorts with 'sudo port install hdhomerun'.  (hdhomerun_gui 
mostly works, but not live tv viewing with VLC.  An update is in 
testing to hopefully fix that.)
