Oh, I know.

I've been a MythTV user since....  0.12?  A long time.

I think my issues right now are hardware, not software.  Frequent
reboots seem to help, which is yet another reason I think this.  It's
weird, because I'm using only HDHR inputs off an OTA antenna so there's
nothing that the backend should *HAVE* to do computationally, but I'm
seeing the CPU core spike up to like 100% when I start seeing my data
loss issues.

I plan to deploy a new slave backend today (if I can get it set up in
time), hoping that will help.
