Actually, I'm not sure what's going on with it. I can watch LiveTV on
a remote frontend, and everything works on the FE/BE combined machine
*except* LiveTV. Have fiddled with directory permissions, tried
starting mythbackend as different users, and adjusted nvidia drivers -
all to no avail.

When I get some spare time I'll try to dig through the logs. If I ever
get it diagnosed and fixed I'll report back!
