<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to see if I can replicate this issue with my system. Just to keep the variables similar - when you change channels do you wait for the new channel to show before selecting another channel or do you just keep pushing channel number buttons until the frontend exits.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>

<DIV>To produce the problem I select a freeview|HD only channel, and then change between random channels reasonably quickly until the frontend exits, or I hit my other issue shown below.</DIV>
