Hi Taylor,

Some more info on the backend crash I keep seeing:

This happens if the advanced dvb setup option "Open DVB Channel on
demand" is checked. 

With that option set, the DVB channel is closed after initial setup,
also destroying the siparser object, which doesn't get reinitialised
before use when a frontend connects and wants to watch TV.

The reason I'd set that option: can't use tv_grab_dvb if mythbackend
doesn't release the DVB card if it's not in use.

Bye, Martin
