I installed only mythfrontend, YouTube and Showmax. I have used it for 
several hours each night for almost a week watching each of those, with 
no issues. I don't know what TED is, and all those others are probably 
taking up space. I suggest stick to the minimum number of applications, 
such as you may use for viewing in the evening.
