Thanks for the info Nick. I checked the Arch packages page and this is the
info on the main Mythtv package in the package manager, seems it is updated
properly:

http://archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/mythtv/

I have a feeling the mythtv package is fine, it's really the following error
that I keep encountering in the log. (I've just had the backend die twice in
less than an hour while watching SNL):

I don't understand this?? What exactly is it telling me? I go into
mythtv-setup and the IP is correct. Is this possibly a hardware-related
issue? It's startin' to tick me off with its frequency now :(

Thanks
