Hello,  I was hoping that someone might be able to help me.  I've been 
struggling with this and am at my (and my wife's) wits end.  My 
mythbackend periodically stops responding.  It's still running, but I 
must restart to get things going again.  The frontend hangs when ever I 
try to view the recordings or upcoming recordings.   I've attached a log 
showing activity at 15:30, where the backend last did something.  
There's a strange file error, then no activity until I restarted.  

My config:
    two backends with one tuner each.  Second backend servers as 
backend/frontend for family viewing.  Each backend has 1 PVR 150 tuner 
card and about 150 gb for video storage.
Master Backend:
mythtv-backend.i386                      0.20-142.fc5.at        installed
mythtv-frontend.i386                     0.20-147.fc5.at        installed
Slave backend/primary frontend for family:
mythtv-backend.i386                      0.20-144.fc3.at        installed
mythtv-frontend.i386                     0.20-144.fc3.at        installed


Thank you for the help.  If I need to provide any other info, please advise.
