I wonder if your backend database has crashed tables. If so you should see  
SQL errors in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log and can fix it by running  
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/maintenance/optimize_mythdb.pl  
(whilst the backend isn't running)

Otherwise you can run 'mythfrontend -v database --loglevel debug' to see  
the frontend/db interactions. Ideally pastebin it here and someone should  
be able to spot the problem.
