<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I said, I believe this has nothing to do with
hardware. Instead, why <BR>don't you try this that somebody else suggested here
a few days ago: <BR><BR>Start watching live TV, then immediately pause (press
the 'p' key) for <BR>30 seconds. After 30 seconds have passed, press the 'p'
again to restart <BR>playing. The idea is to see if you get the lockup watching
live TV 30 <BR>seconds behind the real signal. <BR><BR>I did this once two days
ago and didn't get a lockup during the whole <BR>time I left the live TV going
(a full night, about 10 hours.) </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been having this same problem also.
Pausing the playback for atleast 30sec helped a LOT, but I would still get
occasional lockups ranging from 15min to 4 hours. Without pausing first,
it would freeze in the first few minutes of TV viewing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did find something that helped the reduce the
freezing. I recompiled my kernel and enabled RTC support. I'm
running gentoo, and somehow when I set up my kernel this didn't get added.
Now the system still locks up occasionally, but much less than before.... and I
don't have to pause 30s to watch tv.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now if I could get rid of random sound crackling
(via82xx) things would be looking good :)</FONT></DIV>
