Hi, I have experienced this once or twice before too: pulling the antenna while encoding or watching live TV made the DMA go completely haywire, eventually (after a couple of minutes) locking up the box.
But: this is a long time ago, I think with the 0.3.2 or 0.3.4 series of drivers. Don't know how it currently behaves: haven't pulled the cable since ;-) I have also had problems with LiveTV/encoding after using the radio (PVR-350). Problems include blocky video, horizontal jumps in the video, sometimes resulting in a locked-up system. This was also a long time ago... I will try it again tonight or tomorrownight. Should I try the 0.3.9 or the latest svn???
