<br>> > Allan<br>><br>> Allan, does it lock for livetv, recordings, or both?<br>><br>> Both. Either one I choose the screen close dark then I hear stuttering audio<br>> with no picture then when I use esc or my remote exit button it locks the
<br>> whole system up and I have to hard reboot. Any ideas?<br><br>sounds like a hardware issue with your video card. Are you running<br>driver version 7676?<br><br>have you tried playing back one of your recordings with mplayer?
