Comment 14 for bug 190291

Your theory is correct, the GTread issue is caused by a xine plugin. On Fedora the problematic plugin is called 'xine-lib-extras' (version 1.1.10.1) and the descriptions says:
This package contains extra plugins for xine-lib:
  - EsounD
  - JACK
  - Pulseaudio
  - GDK-Pixbuf
  - GNOME VFS
  - SMB
  - SDL
  - AA-lib
  - Libcaca
  - Image decoding
  - DirectFB output

I uninstalled this package and Me TV works without any problem (so far).

Here's a list of all installed xine-lib packages:

xine-lib-1.1.10.1-1.fc8
xine-lib-extras-nonfree-debuginfo-1.1.10.1-1.lvn8
xine-lib-extras-1.1.10.1-1.fc8 (removed)
xine-lib-arts-1.1.10.1-1.fc8
xine-lib-devel-1.1.10.1-1.fc8
xine-lib-extras-nonfree-1.1.10.1-1.lvn8
