After the blank screen, but before the lock-up, have you tried going back to the menu? This happens to me occasionally, and I go back to the menu and choose 'WatchTV' again. Then I will get about 10-15 seconds of good video, before it begins to lock up again. I back out to the menu, select 'WatchTV' again, and it works from that point on. Third time is a charm I guess. I have no clue why this happens, and since it seems to only happen after a reboot, I haven't investigated it further yet. Garry
