If it freezes when recordings start, you could look here http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/my...ers/583625

I haven't noticed a link between recordings starting and freezing, but I will take a look at this.

I kind of doubt this is the cause though, as it happens a lot on one specific channel (1768, RGTI Rede Globo Internacional) and not very much on any other channels.

It also seems a little bit odd that this problem would be new to the switch from Gotham to Helix, and not occurr when using the official MythTV frontend.

Even if this is the cause, changing the tuner order seems at best a hack though. The correct way to do this would be for the backend to dynamically select an open tuner, not just stick to its schedule and steal the tuner, wheterher it is in use or not.

Unless - of course - the new Helix PVR plugin somehow fails to properly notify the backend that a tuner is in use for live tv, and this is why it happens.

Anyway, I do appreciate the suggestion. Anything is worth trying at this point :p
