I got rid of the "Zap2It defined, but not attached" error.  Here's the
new output:

camille ~ # mythbackend

Looks to me like the main problem is the ChannelBase:

Could not find input:  Television on card while setting channel 3

What is it talking about?  Where do I set where it gets this particular
input it's looking for, and will that stop it from freezing up?  Also,
how do I keep mythbackend from dying?
