Found it! After looking over logs extensively of mythfrontend & mythbackend (with --verbose all and using gdb & strace). All provided errors such as buffer errors and video errors were entirely unuseful in detecting this bug.
I went into mythsetup and chose, "Capture Cards" > "(/dev/v4l/video0)" device" > default input = "television". I barely noticed but previously "default input" was set to a value of "Television" and not "television"! All other channels were started with a lower case letter (ie. s-video, composite, and radio). So I changed the value to "television" and Live TV finally worked! When I returned to the same menu applet within mythsetup, "Television" default input setting no longer existed. All were lower case letters. (wow. ~2 mos of recompiling and other things and it was this!)
