Here is a fresh paste from my test machine: https://pastebin.com/ec0wns6J
This is with -v record,playback --loglevel debug.  If anyone has any
suggestions on more things to make verbose, I'm happy to oblige.  I'd like
to figure this out.

I fixed the config.xml error from the last paste but that wasn't making a
difference anyway -- I was able to watch live tv with that misconfigured.
It's fixed now.  BE and FE are on the same machine and the HDHomerun Prime
is connected to my router.  I shut down my regular backend just in case.

I can tune in most channels until the "premium" ones.  By premium, I mean
encrypted but with cci flags free to copy away (as I can do with my F27
backend presently on these channels, like USA HD, AMC HD, etc.).  When I
switch to a "premium" channel, mythbackend freezes and gives the errors
shown in the log.

I was using the schedules direct xml grabber, which is working fine in
F27.  I switched it to the regular Schedules Direct grabber on this test
machine just in case it was a channel issue, but I really don't think this
is the case since the F27 box works perfectly well as-is.

Thanks for any input!
