One thing that has been constant is that MythTV will crash, randomly, whether I am watching LiveTV or a PreRecorded show. It just freezes, then gradually gets darker until the window is black. If I hit ESC, eventually, the menu appears and I choose Watch TV. Up comes Schedules Direct Cable Guide, to the default channel. I scroll to the channel I want to watch and hit Enter. It may run for several hours or freeze in a few minutes and force me to hit ESC again. The same is true with a PreRecorded show.

I Googled this and found a suggestion to change the Audio buffer size. I have tried various values, but nothing has cured the problem.
