Well the machine appears to have run out of ram...  those syslog messages
are telling you that.  Its not Mythtv having a problem

Try sshing to the machine and run
   watch --diff==cul free
while you do stuff as normal on the console.

I'd expect to see something like this on a 512 Mb mythbox.  It has 500 Mb
of swap too, but thats almost not used.  the 177828 Kbyte figure is how
much it is really using right now.
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        514512     493872      20640          0          0     316044
-/+ buffers/cache:     177828     336684
Swap:       497972         88     497884

Maybe you have a memory leak in something?
