[mythtvnz] New install setup - recording problem

I'll correct my last statement.I had stopped and started mythbackend via  
the GUI many times and did not see a change in the tuner status.
I just stopped and started mythbackend via cli and the status in  
mythfrontend info changed from "tuner x has an error" to "tuner x is not  
recording".
  Mythbackend.log looks like this:

I don't have an .xmltv config file at the moment so I was unable to check  
the actual tuning of stations.

I think we may be getting somewhere.
Modifying Systemd_mythbackend_Configuration looks daunting.
