Crash on some HD Broadcasts

[Country Bumkin]

Hi, I have only recently started using Me Tv in QLD Australia and mostly things have worked well or were not your problem.
However I recently upgraded to version 0.5.24 to watch the HD stations and a problem has emerged.
ABC and SBS HD work well but WIN(9) and Prime(7) crash the program when selected.
Here is some log....

The program 'me-tv' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 1888 error_code 11 request_code 141 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Does this happen for you when you use xine also?

[Country Bumkin (cbumkin)]

Xine failed as well like this

This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5.

Using system monitor playing SD channels used about 30-40% of cpu, HD used about 60% with peaks when changing channels.

This is not a Me TV thing, there's something wrong with cbumkin's setup. I will help him investigate offline.
