[mythtv-users] frontend hangs when recording live tv.

[Jimmy Oliver]

Hi all, This is my first post to the list after some time lurking.  I
have the same setup as the author of this post.  My problem is
identical to the one describe above.  When I record while viewing a
show, the frontend locks up.  I have to CTL+ALT+F1 to get a console,
and then kill the process.  The backend does not seem affected, and
continues to record.  My distro is SuSE 9.2 and I built the binaries
manually.  I know that this issue is relative to the PVR250 since I
had a vanilla wintvgo card prior to the 250 and did not experience the
issue.  Any resolution would be appreciated.  If this has been fixed
in CVS, I would be happy to build from that.
Regards,
-Jimmy
