<BR>
My set up is two pvr-150 cards. Sometimes when I try to change channels I just get a blank, black screen and mythfrontend freezes up completely (doesn't happen every time, though - probably about every third time). Even the 'stop unresponsive program' utility doesn't close mythfrontend properly, because if I then try to reboot I get the 'shutdown error' message due to mythfrontend still running! If I click the 'shutdown anyway' option and reboot, then restart mythfrontend and choose 'Live TV' I then get the "video frame buffering failed too many times" error.<BR>
<BR>
The only way to clear the problem is to stop then restart the backend.<BR>
<BR>
Glad to here that you don't have the problem with HDHR as I am planning on getting one of those in anticipation of our analogue service being turned off next year.<BR> </div></body>
