class=GramE>mythfrontend</SPAN></SPAN> hangs if I get to "aggressive" with the
remote while viewing recorded or live TV. I can't decide if I like the auto
backup after REW/FF feature yet and I certainly haven't gotten used to it. As
a result I tend to FF thru a section and when I hit play it backs up to far so
I hit FF again then it backs up to little and I hit REW and this is where the
<SPAN class=SpellE>frontend</SPAN> just gives up and hangs.<SPAN

business (most of the time, see #2) ... This a known issue or just
me?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">2. Intermittently, my keyboard
totally stops responding while the front end is running. I cannot even
Ctrl-alt-backspace to reset. As I have no other machine networked to the <SPAN
class=SpellE>mythbox</SPAN> yet, I am forced to hit the power button. I
haven't spent a lot of time yet trying to determine exactly when it hangs (it
is hung right now but everything else is fine so I haven't reset yet). <SPAN
class=GramE>It's</SPAN> <SPAN class=SpellE>gonna</SPAN> be a toughie since the
keyboard seems to hang and not affect any other aspect of the system.
