Thanks. I don't quite understand *why* this should work, but I tried
quitting all the obvious candidates (Mail, Fire etc) and MythFrontend
ran for over 10 minutes (an impressive improvement). What was even
more impressive was that I ran out of power after a few minutes so the
Mac went to sleep and when I woke it up again it continued playing live
TV as if nothing had happened!

Well, IMHO, the Mac scheduler is pretty good, but that is probably
because the only comparison that I have is Windows :-)

And speking of bleeding edge: does anyone know whether the latest CVS
version of the Mac client is better in this regard?
