[mythtv-users] LiveTV on two frontends problem

Hello experts,

I have one master backend, one DVB-T tuner with 5 maximum number of
simultaneous recordings set.

When starting channel is set to 1, both frontends are able to play
LiveTV. Then I leave LiveTV on frontend '1', the other (let's say
frontend '2') switch to watch program on another multiplex. Then, when
I hit 'Watch Live TV' on frontend '1', it tries for a short while and
then it quits back to menu.

This is a snip from the backend log, I think default log should be
enough in this case:

My understanding is that the LiveTV on frontend '1' should choose
another virtual tuner and choose to display a program from available
multiplex (as it is doing when a recording is running in the
background).

Before posting a bug I'd like to check - is it possible it is a
configuration problem on my side?

Thanks for your inputs.
