Forgot to mention:

 MythTV 0.18

This problem also manifests on channels with no signal whatsoever.  (For
instance, they've gone off the air for the evening)

I also have a PVR-250 in the unit, and when the DVB side of the backend
has locked up due to bad/no signal, the PVR-250 side never engages.  If
I fire up the backend and the default HDTV channel is one with bad/no
signal, then the backend never even comes up far enough to accept
connections from the frontend or mythweb.
