Comment 19 for bug 351510

I am still using the version 0.8.6 and after some experimenting it works well.

The problem with freezing for a long time happened after installation at first start when I imported a config file containing 25 channels and the database was being filled with the EPG data. Then the EPG and Sqlite caused the me-tv being irresponsive and grayed. After a minute or so about I killed me-tv. Then I had to purge the ~/.me-tv/ folder etc.

As Michael Lamothe was indicating he could not reproduce this behaviour and he is the developer I decided to install libsqlite3-dev (development) package and started the me-tv again. This time I let it be grayed for a few minutes. Then I minimized and unminimize it. After that the me-tv gui returned to colour mode and since then I can use it. It is hard to say what helped: the development package or subsequent long waiting for the initial database filling ...

When I started the me-tv first time today it grayed for about 10 seconds (updating the database I guess) and since then it works without a problem.
