The reason it was giving me the error was because mythbackend was
shutting down.  I ran mythbackend in a screen, detached the screen and
ran mythfrontend.  I did this twice.  Both times once mythfrontend
loaded I selected the Watch Live TV option and it showed me about a
second and a half of live TV and then froze.  Both times I had to Cntrl
+Alt+Backspace to get out of it.  I have a 1.33GHz P4 processor, so that
shouldn't be the problem.  Amazingly mythbackend is still running in the
screen.  Here's the output so far:

Error getting inputs for the capturecard.  Perhaps you have
forgotten to bind video sources to your card's inputs?

I'm going to keep working on it, but I don't know what I can do about it
without more assistance...
