Hi Craig,

I feel you on the Olympics - got this working just in time! I think
something like this should work:

git clone -b fixes/0.25 git://github.com/MythTV/mythtv.git
cd mythtv
git apply /path/to/firewire_channel_change_fix.patch
cd mythttv
./configure
make
sudo make install

The new version of mythtv (frontend and backend) will be installed by
default to /usr/local/bin. You can either change this or change
/etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf to point to /usr/local/bin/mythbackend so
that it starts the newly compiled backend automatically when you reboot.

Good luck, 
Kyle

Title:
  backend crash after second firewire channel change while watching
  livetv

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Triaged
Status in MythTV:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 0.25, I am experience reliable backend crashes when
  using my dch-3200 cable box connected via firewire. The following
  sequence triggers a backend crash every time:

  1. Start watching livetv on firewire input 
  2. Change channel (first channel change works fine)
  3. Change channel again (now backend crashes)

  I believe this problem is present with scheduled recordings as well,
  as I have had a few missed recordings on the firewire input (but most
  of my recordings are on my HVR-1600 QAM tuner, so I am not certain -
  happy to test)

  When the crash happens, mythfrontend reports an "irrecoverable
  recorder error" and the backend restarts (actually appears to restart
  a couple of times?)

  I am using the 0.25-fixes branch of the mythbuntu repos and Ubuntu
  12.04
