I am getting these freezes too. I have 2 frontends, one on the same machine as 
the backend, so local, and another on a diskless frontend (all nfs). Only the 
diskless frontend freezes while watching live tv.

mythfrontend gives me:

2006-02-15 22:18:47.441 
RingBuf(myth://192.168.0.46:6543/1018_20060215221441.mpg): Timing out wait 
due to impending livetv switch.
2006-02-15 22:18:48.181 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times.
2006-02-15 22:18:49.001 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times.

Sometimes it seems to recover after a couple of seconds, other times it just 
keeps spewing that message and I have to restart mythfrontend.

I think this is occuring when a show ends and another starts, hence the live 
tv recording file changes.
