I followed the howto.  When I finished mythfilldatabase the last output
was:

Adjusting program database end times...
0 replacements made.
Marking repeats...found 0
Unmarking repeats from grabber that fall within our new episode
window...found 0

You probably should modify the Master Server settings
in the setup program and set the proper IP address.
error resceduling id -1 in ScheduledRecording::signalChange


Should mythbackend be running when I run mythfilldatabase?  The howto
seemed to suggest not...

mythbackend keeps dying.  Here's the output:

There's no mythbackend.log in /var/log/mythtv (there usually is when
there's an error), and if I just restart mythbackend it seems to stay
up, though I can't figure out why it's doing it.  Here's more output:

mythfrontend is no longer freezing up after a 1.5 seconds (or as far as
I can tell it's not)  Instead it's just giving me a blank screen.  On a
previous run it told me that I should go into TV Settings->Recording
Profiles->Sofware Encoders and set them up.  I found them in
mythfrontend and selected their default settings.  Now it still dies and
I still get the blank screen in mythfrontend...
