[mythtv-users] Crash with Live TV (PVR-250MCE)

Permissions seem to be setup properly. I can create files in the /cache directory (using my old partition scheme) as the mythtv user. I think I'm going to re-install knoppmyth and try to update to myth 0.17 from there. I had 0.16 working just fine, my 0.17 upgrade was only so I could use Xebian + MythTV on my Xbox.

Does the location for live tv buffer actually exist, and does myth
[user] have perms to write to that location?

I remember when I first installed and configured myth over a year ago,
I missed configuring that.  Recording was fine, LiveTV would lockup. 
Just an idea, it was something that was so obvious, but I didn't see
it until I wiped and rebuilt.
