Black screen when selecting "Watch Live TV" on Mac OS X

Description
MythFrontend shows a black screen with a video preview when I select "Watch Live TV" and I have the option "Show the program guide when starting Live TV" enabled.
Examples of this behaviour are attached as screenshots.
Moving around with the directional keys *sometimes* seems to refresh the screen to actually show the EPG.
Judging from the past issues I have had recently with recent builds, I presume this is a QT issue with the Mac, but I'm no developer!

change painter from Qt to Auto or OpenGL

Sorry for the delay in replying.
I'm afraid I was already running MythFrontend under OpenGL already.
Just to make sure though, I changed to auto (no difference), then back to OpenGL but still no difference.
It may be worth noting that I've not seen the example in screenshot 1 for some some time, but I get the screen in screenshot 2 every time I enter live TV with the option "Show the program guide when starting Live TV" enabled.
