Help... totally tangled up in install

[OisinT]

Ok, so I've tried pretty much everything listed here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/Troubleshooting)
and I followed the instructions totally on how to install, but no matter what I do I only get this screen:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/Gutsy/Frontend?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=FE_2.png

I enter what I believe to be the correct info... and nothing seems to work.

Please help!

not sure if this info will help:
