I'm experiencing a similar problem (with a pcHDTV HD5500) even after installing the PPA (via mythbuntu-repos) and installing all the updates. I get this error in the backend when trying to switch channels in LiveTV (NTSC).

MythTV requires it.

I don't know what is to be done about this, but it seems like a serious problem somewhere. I'll provide more details if needed, but this seems like a problem that is known to occur.
