I have the same issues on an all in one mythbackend/mythfrontend box. When I
was running .18 this problem didn't exist. I have the guide set to show up
when switching to live tv, but the black screen delay still happens before
the guide displays. It seems to be something related to tuning a channel,
though I have no guess why myth must tune a channel before showing the
guide.

Myth has given me a very positive overall experience and the developers seem
on top of things, so I figure that a fix will show up in the stable branch
some day.
