Exact same symptoms here, on a gentoo system, 1.4ghz. I never used edit more before so I don't know what it should do, but I figure freezing up and ignoring keypresses isn't correct.
The weird background on the restart is very strange, usually when it happens I can just hit "watch tv" and it fixes it. Except when I'm recording something, then I just have to remember which buttons are which to playback a recorded video to fix it. - Jeff On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 21:06:31 -0600, Rob Greene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm either confused or I'm locking up the front-end when trying to > bring up the edit mode for a show I've recorded. > > 1) I've tried using the "i" button on the remote while watching the > recorded show (maps to "i" on the keyboard, I believe).
