Hi Folks,

I know there has been a lot of discussion about this problem already, 
but I have yet to see any workarounds or indeed solutions.

This is the issue some of us find when watching in LiveTV mode. All is 
well for a period of time and then the backend crashes out. Restarting 
the backend and requesting LiveTV again sets things back on course until 
the next crash.

For me this is the only remaining critical issue.

I can, sadly, recreate this issue at will .. I just have to watch TV for 
about 20 mins or so, maybe less.

Can someone in the know please give me stuff to check for, I am eager to 
help fix this.

PS The subject line is the only clue you get from the mythbackend log
    (even in -v all mode) that something is amiss.
