[mythtv] Error was encountered while displaying video on livetv

I'm still seeing this every once in a while on LiveTV (using SVN 8896))

 

This "error encountered" dialog is bothersome, why aren't we using something
like the non-modal "failed to get a signal lock" screen instead?   If we had
something like that, LiveTV could just retry, and recover on its own and
continue when the "problem" passes.

 

Another problem with the way this error is handled:  A friend of mine was
trying to find his HDTV channels on his cable, but this "dialog" makes it
impossible to change channels when there's a problem with the signal on the
current channel.  We had to resort to mplayer to figure out which channels
were valid.

 

 

Backend doesn't seem to have anything interesting
