I know. Making channel-scanning a separate text-mode application similar to mythfilldatabase would solve that problem. The thing I find truly odd about MythTv is that is _is_ split up into frontend-UI-player and backend-server yet the backend is so distinctly ill-suited to be installed on a "server" type machine. This time around, I'm installing the backend on a normal "desktop" machine that's already going to have an X server, but it's probably going to be the only app that requires Qt3. I should try out Freevo some day. It's written in Python, so it should be more stable than MythTv. But, it doesn't support my tuner yet, and it doesn't appear to support a separate backend with multiple frontends.
