I'm using last week's build from Mythbuntu's 0.26 repository.  I did not see 
mention of either issue being fixed on the -dev mailing list, so I don't hold 
out much hope.  The buffer failure issue has been reported to be fixed several
times, only to show up again (look at ticket 10490 for example "fixed" 5 months
ago but people still experience it).

Please understand this is not a complaint, just reporting the facts in response 
to the original question "what live tv issues are there."
