[mythtv-users] System 'locking' on Watch TV

[Stephan Wentz]

Same here, with exactly the same hardware, but i'm using the cvs-version...
backend and client on the same machine and whenever i try to watch live tv 
nothing happens... but the backend uses cpu-time, so i think it's 
recording... maybe a client-issue?

bye, stephan
