Oh - my humble experience are really in favour of 0.26.
Lets put aside for moment OP context (which for me seems to be rather 
particular installation/config issue): 0.26 has many fundamental changes 
i.e. within thread locking/synchronization infrastructure which I 
clearly see as huge improvement. I feel them in daily use. Believe me !
Currently I would say 0.26 is first release I would qualify as: it works 
as it should (regarding PVR/LiveTV functions).

One thing IMHO is important at this stage: distinguishing design bugs 
from implementation bugs.
There are many commits in 0.26 addressing first category.
This is great and it will highly pay-off for general MythTV stability. 
Sure, it will be still masked by implementation bugs.
In my experience all this is normal in software development and I'm 
really happy that dev's are on exactly this route. There are many 
alternative temptations so keeping this route requires some maturity...
I think currently MythTV quality is enough high to look into OP system 
setup as clearly there is possibility to have running MythTV with 
production quality....

just my 0.02$
