[Tucker Hermans]

Hi list,

I am running mythtv on Debian testing with mythtv installed using 
apt-get.  Whenever I try using mythfrontend I can start watching tv, but 
whenever I try to change channels the video freezes with audio 
continuing.  The program then abruptly exits to the main menu and when I 
try to watch tv again I get a message that a connection could not be 
made to the server.

The output for mythbackend running in verbose mode and the output of 
mythfrontend are attached.

thanks in advance,
Tucker

You probably should modify the Master Server settings
in the setup program and set the proper IP address.
