Hello,

I can say that with 0.25.3 still has the black screen problem.
I do indeed have a nvidia card (gt520) but I don't have the problem
when watching dvd, can't say anything about live tv, I did not pause
my live tv resently (I don't watch live tv a lot)

Only when I watch HD video from a mkv, when I pause it the screen
stays visible, but when I resume the screen goes black while audio
continues.
When I adjust the video settings while watching video (change aspect
ratio for example) then the screen goes black as well.
Checking the programm guide might work, but it sounds more of a hassle
than simply restarting the video and skipping forward to where I was.

Regards
Rob

Alt-Tab I think also worked for me.  I use the guide since I can bring it up 
with one remote control button press, then a quick press of the back button the 
remote and the video comes back right where it was playing.
Ive also had the issue with dvds in mythtv between different video segments i.e 
going from previews to the menu.
