I added a new tuner card (the HVR 1250) and a larger hard drive. I also
completely reformatted the box. It's random, but it's not. The same action
causes it ever time (exiting from viewing video). It doesn't matter if I
just booted the box, started live TV and exited 5 seconds later or if I've
been running for a while, go to Live TV, spend some time there (changing
channels, wishing it had sound, etc) then exit. It's not until I exit that
the crash happens. So while it's different modules being recorded in the
syslog, it's the same action causing it.

I suppose it's possible it's crashing when I go into the video and I just
don't notice it until I exit, but the OSD works fine (not sure if that's
related the the frontend process or not).
