I've seen the "fading to B&W" on my netbook running Ubuntu.  Not with
mythtv, but with other apps, and I think it corresponds to my wireless
network dropping out.

I've assumed it's Ubuntu's version of Microsoft's "(Window Not
Responding)" indication.  After a few seconds the windows pops back to
life.

So this might not be a MythTV  problem.
