As I suspected, from the return addy:
Only a Canadian would watch two hockey games at once :-)
Are you simply swapping between the two channels, the main one and
the PiP one?, not changing channels or anything else?
I just tried about 50 back and forth switches on my system with no
problems.
So obviously *something* is different between our systems, we might
as well start with the version. This is an older 0.19 system using
PVR-150s, so if it's a bona-fide "bug" it could have come in anytime
in the last year if you're running a current system.
Can you get a terminal, perhaps via SSH, and try and see what process
(es) is(are) taking up all the CPU? Have to start someplace.
