Awesome!
Doing a sudo mythtv-setup now allows me to probe the card, but in my
input connections screen there are literally no options to choose
from, and even though the backend will now start, it is not
responding on its port:
]# ps aux | grep myth
root 5038 0.0 1.2 38668 18244 p0 SN 8:46AM 0:01.48 /usr/
local/bin/mythbackend
root 5103 0.0 0.0 1580 640 p0 R+ 8:53AM 0:00.00 grep
myth
[root@mymachine /home/joe]# telnet localhost 6543
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
Because I'm unable to select an input connection most likely, I get
the following when starting the backend:
]# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mythbackend.sh restart
Stopping mythbackend.
Waiting for PIDS: 5038.
Starting mythbackend.

Perhaps you have forgotten to bind video
sources to your card's inputs?
Any idea why I'm not getting any input connection options?
