Why is it that random things seem to happen to my MythTV system?

Things stop working, frontends that could connect now can't.  My bankend
hangs once in every while (the machine is fine, I can login to it etc, but
the mythtv backend is unresponsive) I sometimes get blank recordings (no
sound, no picture, just an hour of black silence) sometimes I get zero byte
recordings, my backend at one stage suddenly for no reason I could see got
very confused about it directories, and now today, again for no apparent
reason, it suddenly can't delete live TV recordings.

Why has this happened?  How do it happen?  Why do I keep getting these
random strange events on a system I'm doing nothing on except the basic
MythTV things of recording and playback and running the Ubuntu and Mythbuntu
updates on?

Is it because Im running the udates?

Despite what I've read here would I be better of just leaving the
installation alone and only updating say once a year?
