Sounds like the either of the following will fix your issue.
mkdir -p /var/lib/mythtv/blahblah...
Did you enter a location in myth setup where recorded shows to end up
on your filesystem?

Hello All,
I have this EXTREMELY annoying problem. I have an Avermedia M179
card using the ivtv modules. I can record fine if I do a "cat
/dev/video0 > /tmp/somevid.mpg" but when I try to record in Myth the
moment it starts to record the screen goes with all straight vertical
lines and no sound. If I start the mythfronted from terminal, I can
see that it is bitching about invalid file handle when opening
/var/lib/mythtv/blahblah... and the name of the file is really long.
Any ideas on this one?? TIA!

I FINALLY figured out a solution! As this has happened before and I
never found out how the problem got fixed (one day it just started
working, on another box). I cruised the http://www.wilsonet/mythtv site
and looked under his tips and tricks section and he recommended setting
the mythfrontend to run setuid root, I did that and all is well!!!! And
the performance on the box is WAY better, what a difference!! Hopefully
this will help others if they encounter this annoyance as it was driving
me NUTS!!! LOL
