I've had a quick look at the code and this message is from SetupRecorder
in libs/libmythtv/tv_rec.cpp and is only displayed when ivtv was not
enabled correctly. But your config has IVTV enabled so there is something
wrong.

You could try to remove the ifdef USING_IVTV and endif in tv_rec.cpp at
around line 989 and see if it helps. I'll try to have a look at it.
