The backend log is in /var/log/mythtv/. A search of the forum will give more info on troubleshoting this as will the Mythtv docs.

well three things to look at.

/var/log/messages
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
and if those don't tell you anything run mythfrontend from an xterm after you have experianced the problem exit out of mythfrontend and see what kind of errors are in the xterm.
