So, the first thing it does is loads the program guide.

That seems premature.  What if I never want to do anything that needs
the guide?  I shouldn't be blocked from, say, watching recordings while
I wait (quite a number of minutes) for a guide to load that I will
never use.  Probably loading the guide should wait until I do something
that needs it.

It's very slow to read the Recorded program listing also.  It took many
minutes here.

It also takes a long time (again, on the order of minutes) to start a
recording playback.  Oh.  and it didn't actually play it.  It just
popped up a "Unfortunately, MythTV for Android has stopped." dialog.
:-(

Clicking OK on it takes me back to the list of episodes of the title I
was trying to watch.  And trying to select another program yields a
java.lang.NPE.

I do seem to be getting a lot of:

on my BE though.  I'm currently running 0.25.2-fixes from 20120801 at
