I have an HD Homerun setup (and a single pcHDTV HD-3000 card).

What you describe Ron is exactly what I have experienced.  About three
times now I've noticed that my CPU usage was at 100% due to mythpreviewgen
and the machine was not recording, nor transcoding anything (and hadn't for
some time).  The process was started days ago.  I don't know what that code
does but it appears to get stuck on some recordings and hangs consuming cpu
cycles.

Thanks,
