LOCKED over and over and over. The CPU is only being used at about 30% during all of this. If I
just do azap -r channel without watching anything it is LOCKED all of the time.

to your live tv from HD-3000 and recordings while watch other recordings from HD-3000?

Actually I havn't even tried that scenario yet. My guess is that it would cause the same problem
since everything else does but I can't be sure. I think I'm going to disable my parport, second
serial port and USB and see if I can't get them on seperate IRQ's. I think James is probably right
as to what creates this problem. But I think my problem exists when the HD3000 and the SB Live are
on the same IRQ because it only seems to happen when sound is being used.

More to come later.....
