Hi folks

I'm puzzled. After a clean install (following Jarod's doc), I'm
running 0.20-fixes (protocol 31) from ATRPMS and mostly all is well.

The puzzle is that while I can schedule recordings and play them back
flawlessly, including playing the in-progressrecording, I'm unable to
enter LiveTV.
The screen goes dark, I can see the external channel change script run
in the logs, and visually on my cable box, but then I get
unceremoniously dumped back to the menu.
I don't believe I'm in the 'missing startchan; delete cards, sources &
channels; reconfigure' bucket. (As a precaution I tried that fix, no
joy).

I've run the backend and frontend with "-v all" but I don't see
anything that looks conclusive - I'm curious about the socket
connection closing? Full log attached.
(N.B. this session was initiated from my Mac frontend, but I get the
same problem when the frontend is local to the backend.)

(Full log is available but was too big - my post was rejected.)

Is anyone seeing similar things? Any ideas where to start?
