[mythtv-users] can't watch livetv (writeStringList: Error, socket went unconnected.)

earlier I was running 0.20_p11626, upgraded to 0.20_p13110 (gentoo ~x86)
to try to get a fix after much searching provided no results.

the error is the same across versions.

this is a system that's been running .20 since soon after it came out
with 2 pvr150's and a pvr500, streaming to two frontend-only machines.

this error started seemingly out of the blue, is present with both
frontends, and only affects watching livetv.  watching recordings (even
ones currently recording) is fine. This has been verified across all tuners.

when starting livetv backend log, with -v network.
