I have also experienced freezes with a Geforce 6600 AGP and a ASUS<br>
A7N8X Nforce Motherboard.<br>
I found out that this was due to some devices sharing the same IRQ on<br>
the pci bus.<br>
I changed some settings in the BIOS. Now there are still some devices<br>
sharing a IRQ, but it seems like those devices which were causing the<br>
problem are now on separate IRQ channels so no freezing anymore.<br>
<br>
By the way, my system would freeze whenever I had anything that played<br>
sound for 15-30 Minutes.<br>
I never seemed to have a problem with it before until I recently<br>
aquired a Dolby Digital Decoder and therefore configured my system to<br>
play all sound via Digital SPDIF Passthrough.<br>
<br>
Something you might wanna try:<br>
<br>
Try watching a movie or dvd with xine or mplayer, see if freezes are<br>
caused by any other programs other than mythtv.<br>
<br>
If indeed it is only Mythtv which freezes when you watch TV, try<br>
selecting a different Mpeg decoder in the Playback settings.<br>
If you are using XVMC, try turning it off, or vice versa. Mythtv has<br>
support for different methods to play Mpeg streams. Try different ones<br>
and see what results you get, could be that your Nvidia card simply<br>
doesnt play nice with certain options.<br>
<br>
Good Luck.<br>
