Comment:

 Daniel: I'm surprised that you completely closed this issue. While I can
 understand that major code fixes aren't of the order at this stage of the
 release, I feel that anything that causes the frontend to either crash or
 lock up is indeed an issue. I would even argue that it's not a feature
 request, because this isn't "user error". Channels can come in 5C
 encrypted some of the time and some of the time they're not encrypted.
 MythTV needs to gracefully handle not locking up when the datastream hits
 zero. Behavior like this in MythTV makes it tough for the system to pass
 the "girlfriend or wife test".

 Please understand that I'm not trying to start an argument here. I work as
 a Program Manager for a staff of over 30 people building telco software
 and anything that locks up the application, irrespective of user error or
 not, is an issue. I do have systems programming background, so if someone
 could point me to the direction of where to look into fixing this, I'd be
 happy to do.

 I'm reopening this as a defect for 0.19 therefore.
