Then that is not the same problem I had. My problem (using the NVidia 
9746 drivers) was that the second time you watched anything (i.e. watch 
something, live tv, recording, whatever, stop watching, and watch 
something else) that mfe would segfault. I downgraded the NVidia driver 
and that fixed the problem.
