a few answers below, but not very helpful ones i'm afraid. i'll try and have<br>a play on my appletv later to see if there's anything i can think of that i<br>might have missed.<br><br><br>>here is what I get when I mythfrontend

<br><br>strange. have you checked that the ripstop.plist file has been moved and<br>rc.local has the correct entries? it's also probably worth checking the page<br>that I've linked to (<a href="http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Watchdog">

<br><br>ah yes, it is called diagnostics. If I just restart it comes right back to it.<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<br>have you changed the finder app to Mythfrontend? if you have then this could<br>be why it's rebooting (because myth isn't starting properly). try this to<br>see if it still restarts:<br><br>defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow Finder
