[mythtv-users] Still having problems with Remote-Frontend (SJF)

[Brent Borghese]

I have the same problem with my remote frontend.   I also see the
backend dieing if the frontend just hangs, with the preview on.

If the preview is off, the local and remote frontend's work ok, but the
backend has died a few times over the passed few weeks.

I am running the cvs from Aug 15.
