I confirmed with the debian-multimedia maintainer that the testing
version of MythTV would always be compatible with the stable version. I
am running a stable backend, and a testing frontend.
I don't think that the unstable version is necessarily compatible with
the stable version. In fact, I recall recently on the debian-multimedia
mailing list that there was a new version in unstable. So I suspect
what happened is that your frontend got updated, and it refused to
communicate with your stable backend, because the databases have
different schemas.
