Here's the problem: probeCard(...) failed to open /dev/video (probably
I've got the wrong permissions set on /dev/video) so it can't determine
the card inputs.
It emits a warning message "Couldn't open /dev/video to probe its
inputs." but does not stop the process. Everything continues as if
nothing went wrong (although of course you don't get your inputs
associated with the channel sources)
New users who are not paying close attention will not see the message.
They will certainly not understand that they have to fix permissions on
/dev/video, or do some other operation, in order for mythTV to operate
correctly.
I think the above error should stop the setup process and display a
prompt message with the default to halt setup so the user can correct
the error and re-run.
I'll submit a patch to that effect if Isaac agrees.

Dan
