Comment (by al5121024@…):

 OK, I misunderstood the symptoms. It isn't starting on the originally
 crash-to-menu channel. Instead once it has been on any crash-to-menu
 channel, every channel on the digital tuner turns crash-to-menu.

 It actually is reverting to the last non-crash-to-menu channel.
 Unfortunately that channel is now a crash-to-menu channel too (unless it
 is an analog channel, which is how I realized what was happening).
 Unfortunately, starting from analog doesn't fix the problem, it just
 crashes-to-menu as soon as you switch from the analog to any digital
 channel. Stopping myth frontend in system monitor eliminates the "all
 digital channels are crash-to-menu" problem until the next time you tune
 to a bad channel. Frontend automatically reboots so this fix is fast
 enough to work with. Still, it would be nice if the underlying problem of
 "all digital channels go bad after one bad channel" or the problem of bad
 channels causing an "error opening jump program file".
