[mythtv-users] Frontend freezes after LiveTV playback of ~30 seconds.

[Trent Jacobs]

I saw this repeatedly yesterday upon setting up my MythBox for the first 
time.  However, I have no solution, and was relatively unconcerned since 
the Myth install was an experiment to see if my hardware would work with 
Myth or if I need to invest in a new capture card -- I currently have an 
AverTV stereo.  Sorry I can't offer advice, as my linux experience is 
quite limited, (to what I've learned in the last 6 months since I loaded 
Slackware on my laptop) but I gladly offer reassurance that you're not 
alone in experiencing this.

If it helps, I haven't ruled out the possibility that *I* am responsible 
for that particular problem somehow, although I did follow Jarrod's 
guide fairly meticulously.
