I have this happen occasionally.  I can't remember what I do to stop it but
maybe it is just turn off the TV.  I do not know if this is a known issue
and I have a little old version of Myth, Mythbuntu 8.04 LTS.  I have done
only a few updates and only to solve a specific problem. If you find out
there is an update to fix this please post in this thread.
