The BE controls when to shutdown and will only ever start the shutdown
procedure when there are no FE's connected so it's hard to see how it
could possibly be shutting down while watching live TV unless for some
reason the sockets used for communication are being disconnected. You
could try running the FE and/or the BE wth the '-v socket' verbose flag
to see if that shows anything strange.
