[mythtv-users] mythfrontend dying.

I had a test of mythtv up and running before I went out of town last
week, but when I came back its having problems.

I have a backend machine (on my local network) and a diskless 
frontend machine.

Since having problems, I have updated mythtv to the latest out
there on the release-0-20-fixes branch.

NOW, when I try to watch TV on my CONSOLE, (another machine
on the local network) I get the error message:

    MythTV is already using all available inputs for the channel
    you selected. 
    ...

Which is clearly wrong, since there is nothing going on and there
are three tuners in the backend machine.

When I try to watch thru the (intended) diskless machine (which
has its own separate ethernet connection to the backend) I get
the messages

Now mabe Im not thinking clearly, as Im trying to catch up on about three
separate projects at the same time, but this isnt making any sense.
Any thoughts???

As far as I can tell, the BACKEND machines long doesnt have anything
to say about this connecton at all, here it is for what its worth.
