[mythtv-users] frontend hangs when recording live tv.

[Jim Kusznir]

I saw the same problem.  I believe this is due to a bug in the 0.16 
release; the fix is to upgrade to CVS. 

You'll probably also notice that if you have a scheduled recording about 
to start and watch livetv when it does, the front end will lock.  I have 
verified that CVS version fixes this.

I'm suprised no one else on the list responded....I've only been running 
myth for about two months.
