Had mythfrontend installed on my laptop with 64 bit 8.10 (upgraded from several versions prior) and it was working fine. I had to send the laptop to hp and they wiped my drive. Yes I had an image of it but I thought it would be a good idea to install 64 bit 8.10 fresh. At the same time I added a pvr-150 to my BE to go with my pvr-350. Everything is working fine on a different FE but my freshly installed 8.10 (with/without compiz and with/without ndivia hardware drivers) is having a lot of trouble. The FE freezes regularly with livetv and recorded shows and here is what is in the frontend.log:

Anyone have any ideas? I'm just about ready to wipe the drive and try again - maybe with mepis or 32 bit something or other.
