[mythtv-users] Hang ups after Changing from RecordingOnly to None

Thanks, good observation!

I'll give that a try tonight.

Oh yeah, since my MySQL server is on a different machine, it constantly  
uses the network. Could explain why it hangs when requesting a  
reschedule too. I've noticed several sleeping processes [1] on the  
server too.

Thanks again,
   JJ
