After a while (time varies - usually a week or more of use) when I watch a recording or video I get a blank screen but hear the sound as I should.  Once it goes into this mode the only fix is to logout, or reboot.  Not a critical issue, just annoying.

I'm guessing you're using a video renderer that you shouldn't be.

Please try changing to the un-modified configuration of the Slim 
playback profile group (Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Settings|Playback, 3rd 
screen), and see if that fixes it.
