</span>I had this problem and it turned out to be caused by my Router (D-Link).<br>
Packets were being dropped when passing through the router. I changed<br>
the wiring so that the signal between the HDHR and the backend went<br>
through a switch instead of the router and that solved the problem.<br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have pfsense running on a vmware esxi server that also runs mythbackend.

I'm guessing that the onboard realtek NIC couldn't handle the traffic from the HDHR coming in and out and the mythfrontend traffic... </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
