The problem with Ubuntu 12.04 is known (and fix), but the package in main repository is not updated yet.

Thank you Frederic
At least I know now that when the repository is updated the problem will
be resolved.

I have the same issue. I can start the program and TV plays but then immediately it is crashed however it keeps playing live tv. Resizing the window leaves the TV at the same size. Cant change channel or see the EPG. All menus are unresponsive. Trying to do anything with the TV just brings up the force close dialogue.

Worked 100% before I did the 12.04 upgrade. I am not sure if it is related but with the TV running it also causes the desktop / session (sorry trying to describe best I can ) to be automatically logged out. As if maybe a X-reboot has occurred. I am login and have to open up mail client and browser and TV (if I was watching) again. So its not a locked desktop / session it logs me out.
