There was a guide bug with TiVo earlier this year, and now that I've
finally got a stable, reliable MythTV setup (and my
slow-to-accept-change wife finally warming to it), and BAM - guide data bug.

Grr.  This bug is a real problem for me.  The whole point of a DVR is
that I don't have to care about when something is on and if it's a new
episode or not.  What a pain.

I love it.  Nothing quite like pissing off the customer by refusing to
let him/her vent.  Admit a problem, inform that you are trying to fix
it, and allow users to blow off a little steam.  Brownshirting it and
locking critical threads will just push customers towards critical mass
more quickly.
