Two possible reasons:
- Your version of Qt wasn't compiled with .gif (or whatever your channel
images are) support, and it's trying to load some channel icon images and
failing. There's a workaround for that in mythtv cvs.
- Your machine's too slow to do the alpha blending for the category colors --
go into the program guide settings in the setup portion of mythfrontend and
select a different 'Guide Shading Method'. Also, you want to make sure you
have RENDER accel turned on in your X config if you're using an nvidia card,
as that speeds up the UI in general quite a bit.
As for your TV problems, just drop the recording resolution down a bit until
your machine can handle things.
