My uptime was around 81 days until I had to reboot because something 
went wrong with ivtv and it wasn't recording anymore.

I'm running Gentoo AMD64 with Myth 0.18.1-r2

It's been remarkably stable for me - I think the problem that happened 
this weekend was the first backend trouble I've had since I started 
running Myth back in March or so.
