I hate replying to my own post, but I found out a little more.

It has to do with having the Watch Media mainmenu item selected, then
going to Watch TV.  I never have to go into the Watch Media submenu at
all, and I can go into any other menu w/o a problem.  Also, if the
Watch Media option is selected before I go into Watch TV for the first
time, when I go into Watch TV I get a blank screen for around 5
seconds and it dumps me back to the main menu, but doesn't crash
mythfrontend.

Looking at the mythfrontend output I see the following:

Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5)
ReadStringList timeout (quick).
Unexpected response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION:
Changing from None to None

I can't watch tv again until I restart the backend after this error.
Strangely G.A.N.T. doesn't have this problem, Titivillus and blue do
have the problem however.

Hope this helps in some way, I'm really not sure what is going on.
