Why reboot? There's a tip on Jarod's guide for just this problem! http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/tips.php Essentially, use irexec to run a script that starts mythfrontend if it isn't running, or kill it if it is. If the frontend does hang, two presses and you should be up and running again. If you are using a combined front/backend - you can let the machine turn itself off by closing the frontend process and waiting for the defined 'idle' time to expire. If using a frontend, you should be able to shutdown from the main MythTV menu by choosing 'Exit and Shutdown'. > 2) How do I assign one button of the remote to take me straight to the > program guide instead of having to navigate to it through the OSD while > I am watching TV? You want to set a global keybinding for GUIDE, using mythweb. 'S' is the key that is usually bound to this in playback mode.
