About 10% of the time for me it will only crash the frontend.  90% of the time just FFWD at 3x will lock up the machine completely requiring a reboot.  (The drive light has stopped ad well as the keyboard... pretty dead.)

It sounds like my situation is more severe than some others.  From the thread mentioned it looks like most can FF at 3x without crashing but I certainly cannot.

I'll be looking into that if no one else has a suggestion.  I will look into the crash too but having no particular background in video it'll likely take me awhile to figure out what is going on.  

I do have a couple other video cards with TV-out so I will likely try them so I can isolate it to the PVR-350 TV-out.
