My search for stable mythtv continues. I am now testing
2.6.16-1.2133_FC5smp and ivtv 0.6.1 after reading some posts about
later ivtv versions.<br><br>Every now and then my mythbackend becomes
unresponsive. What I mean by that is that frontend just sits there when
I select watch recordings. I tried the same from the backend itself to
eliminate network issues. This is what I get with 'mythfrontend -v all'
