I won't say that it "hangs" because the system still responds to some key presses (like Alt-X, Alt-2, etc), but nothing will let me exit the empty recording group.  ESC won't back me out of the screen, and 'M' won't bring up the menu.

I've never had it recover.. I've let it sit for 10 minutes (timed it),
and I was still unable to get it to respond to key presses.  Yes, the
system stays up, but mythtv is unresponsive.

I've just tried my best to keep from emptying any groups. :)
