Comment(by Marc Randolph <mrand@…>):

 Sorry, I forgot to put a link back to the Launchpad bug.  The short
 version is this:

 1. The cause of the crash was no tuners being defined.  I don't know if
 that is resolved in 0.23 or not, but there were more than one report of
 this causing an actual crash (which I assume is less than ideal from a
 database perspective).

 2. The cause for the tuners not being defined is slightly less clear.  One
 person had purposely removed the tuner via setup because they removed the
 hardware.  But the person that opened this ticket had not gone into
 mythtv-setup for a Really Long Time (tm).  He mentions a different backend
 crash problem, so perhaps that somehow corrupted his database?


 The users backend log had the following in it:

    Perhaps you should re-read the installation instructions?
