Do you have an Xbox360 or other uPnP device on the same network, and does
the problem start when you turn on the Xbox360? There was a mythbackend fix
around the December timeframe that helped a similar issue for me (I have a
360).

Here's a trac link from Jan 5 http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/12423 but
I am at 12299 (Dec 20) and mine doesn't do that any more.
