I highly suggest moving from the homebrew serial IR blaster to the HDPVR<br>
built in IR blaster. I have the exact same setup, and had the exact<br>
same problems. I finally caught it live and saw that LIRC was throwing<br>
some sort of error (sorry don't recall the details). I switched over<br>
the HVPVR IR blaster as a shot in the dark, and haven't had a lock-up<br>
since (over two months now).<br>

I had seen there were some issues getting the HDPVR Blaster to work so I went with the same method I had been using for years, guess it was the wrong choice. DOH<br>
<br>I think I will switch the blaster over to the HDPVR tonight.<br><br>
