<div dir="ltr">I know that Ubuntu 14.04.5 will be supported until
2019 and mythtv 0.28 works on it fine. Should I stick with it???<br>
<br>
Why I'm asking:<br>
<br>
I cannot get any version of 16.04.1 to properly display on any
HDTV in my house or through a A/V receiver on any computer. The
screen goes blank for 5-10 seconds depending on what is on the
screen. There is also video noise; random blank horizontal
lines scattered on the display. <br>
<br>
I don't have any issues with the same hardware on any version of
Ubuntu 14.04.<br>
<br>
Since I need a mythtv frontend/backend and not just a backend, I
can't use 16.04 until this issue is fixed. I've tried posting
the graphic issue on the Ubuntu forum with no luck yet.<br>
<br>
So am I safe to continue on 14.04.5??<br>

As you say, 14.04 will supported for a while yet, although you'll
need to do something in a couple of years' time.<br>
<br>
It would be interesting to know exactly what causes your issue in
16.04, though. You can install the 16.04 kernel in 14.04
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack</a>) and you could
try that to see if the same issue occurs, and easily roll back if it
does. Alternatively it could be a difference in the graphics drivers
between the two versions, which you could investigate.<br>
