Depends what you mean by a crash. Mythfrontend (0.16) crashes every
time you tune to an HDTV channel with inadequate signal.
(The sky at night is the colour of a television tuned to a dead channel.)
Linux crashes are rare, though I certainly got plenty while trying to
debug nvidia driver configuration. That's nothing directly to do with
myth, though.
I'm also seeing more backend and frontend crashes since I switched to
having a 2nd system which is both remote frontend and slave backend.
(The HD card is upstairs by the antenna, the pvr-250 is downstairs by
the TV and cable.) Still haven't worked out the cause, but I'm going
to need to make a script to test for the presence of the slave
backend regularly and kickstart it. Otherwise it misses shows.
The master backend doesn't fail much.
