I certainly understand the risk of disassembly, but flaky unpredictable reboots are a classic sign of thermal problems, and improper heatsinking is a classic cause. If I were to write a HowTO for MythTV the first thing would be to make sure your machine is working perfectly in every regard. MT stresses a system more than most applications and it certainly is not going to fix any squirrels one might have starting out. But I promised to get off this thread, back to my weird PiP problem :-) _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
