I've had the same. Entering the EPG is no problem, but leaving back to
LiveTV crashed the whole system. It still reacted to a ping, but apart from
that the system was dead. Not even telnet was possible.

I have to admit, though, I don't remember which version of MythTV I had
that problem with. And I'm not feeling adventurous enough to try it again...

I remember the screen was split into half, one part displaying the EPG,
the other half something else. And the small Live-TV box was black with
some white text in it. And I didn't have to repair the database...

No Ubuntu here. Which version of the nvidia-driver are you using? I'm
using 1.0-8774.

Anyone else having (had) this problem?
