-- I use the edit function to clean up EyeTV recorded items, usually
this works fine, but occasionally it hangs for no obvious reason, and
never recovers.

-- Up till now, I've had to go to 'Force Quit'
(Command-Option-Escape), which will show "Eye TV not responding', in
red, and click on 'Force Quit'. Of course you lose the edits that you
had put in, but the original recording is OK and you can again try an
edit.

-- I've found (more or less by accident) that if you open Activity
Monitor, this will also also tell you that EyeTV is not responding.
But, if you click twice on EyeTV in the Process Name list, it restores
EyeTV to life, and you haven't lost your edits!

-- Apologies to those who already knew this, it was new to me -- maybe
it will help others deal with app hangs.
