Hi,

I have been experiencing this problem for a few months now. I think it is 
related to the use of the remote control. I have written a workaround 
application for Ubuntu Linux that scans for a mt2060 error in the dmesg log. 
If found it will restart mythtv-backend.  This seems to mitigate tha problem.

I can't wait for this issue to be fixed.

Shaun
