I have a recollection of there being another solution, something about<br>
killing a task and preventing it from starting so that event of the<br>
HDMI going away was not monitored. That was on the mythtv-users<br>
mailing list. Sorry I have only a vague recollection of this, as I am<br>
not affected by the problem and did not follow the thread.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I followed those instructions yesterday and it has fixed my problem.
