SageTV hangs on start if SageTV Service is Enabled/Running

[zwombat]

If I set the SageTV Service
(windows service) to start automatically, then when I launch SageTV, it
hangs at the point that says "Initializing Sage TV Service" and becomes
non-responsive.

If I switch the SageTV Service to disabled (not automatic startup), then
SageTV launches with no problem and works.

This appears to be a bug of some sort since it is clearly tied to whether
the service is enabled or disabled.

Here's the details of what happens:

First I ran the SageTVServiceControl.exe program and clicked on Enable for the service and then clicked on Start. I waited until the status updated to reflect that the service had started.

Then I launched SageTV itself.

SageTV stopped at the message "SageTV Service is initializing".

I started SageTV at around 6:26AM my time and it was still stuck there when I came back at 7:02AM so then I end tasked it since it wasn't working. So that's over a half hour I waited.

If I then disable and stop the SageTV Service I can then launch SageTV without problem.
