Comment(by vince.mari at bigpond.com):

 I had this problem with at least vers 0.20.* and 0.21.* where mythfrontend
 does not recover from a buffer underrun at schedule changes etc in live tv
 (does this only happen on australian DVB??)

 My workaround is to renice mythbackend to -1 (with mythfrontend realtime
 threads OFF on and priority 0). I'm guessing that the frontend is not
 blocking on underrun so this forces it to sleep until the backend is
 ready.
