I'm the reporter of the ticket above.  I see the same behavior frequently
on both of my frontends.  I do not believe it's a network issue, as I've
heard you and a few others describe the same issue and it seems to be tied
to issue in the backend.  If you stop and restart the backend, it'll stop
doing it for a long period of time.  Also, these symptoms did not occur in
0.26, regardless of the fact that mythcontext didn't notify then.  It's not
just the message appearing, it's the fact the the watch recordings list
will not populate and is unresponsive during this flapping connection to
the backend.

There is definitely something going on in 0.27 that causes this bad
behavior - it is a bug.
