When I watch live TV it<br>
almost always crashes (just vanishes). However when watching the same<br>
program on playback usually no problems (ie when recorded). It also<br>
will crash after a few seconds when playing some recordings,<br>
specifically Knight Rider. </blockquote><div><br>Could be overheating. When Myth has problems with LiveTV but not recorded TV it indicates that the extra load of recording as well as watching might be a problem. Has it got worse in the last few months (i.e. since summer started)?<br>

I don't have a graphics card at the moment (as I'm waiting for the<br>
VDPAU to stabilise so its all decoded by the CPU anyway).<br>
<br>
Has anyone got any ideas on diagnosing what the problem is (ie is CPU<br>
maxing out?)?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>CPU maxing out won't cause crashes, just skips and unwatchable video.<br></div></div><br>Cheers,<br>Steve<br>
