[mythtv-users] Myth Box Locks-up after recording

[Dwayne B]

This is a long shot, but in your setup do you have 'Automatically Flag 
Commercials' enabled?  This would lock my box up hard and I would have to 
reboot; and the symptoms were like yours.  It would look up about after about 
the same time after a recording.  I have a PVR 250 & PVR 350, KT266A chipset 
and a Athlon 1.4 Tbird.  After I disabled automatic commercial flagging, the 
box is very stable now.
