[QUOTE="PRW, post: 1283280, member: 117927"] Thanks for your reply. I had a hunch the problem was deeper than I could see just from the numbers in Task Manager. My system is up 24/7 so memory allocation is not routinely reduced to initial values. There is a very severe memory leak somewhere other than TvService (I assume) that forces me to restart my system every 5 or 6 days to avoid out of memory errors. As a result I keep a close eye on the the amount of committed memory and restart to avoid crashes/hangs. (Yes, I have expanded my virtual memory file.) A couple of days following a system restart TvService is ALWAYS the single process with the most memory allocated. As far as I can tell the amount of memory assigned to TvS never goes down unless I manually stop and restart it. This would seem to suggest either that automated garbage collection doesn't happen or that it does happen but doesn't find all the unused memory or that some memory is never marked unused. To answer your questions: I would not necessarily expect TvS to return to its initial memory usage. But I would expect the usage to stop growing at some point, which does not seem to happen. As to background activities: I had been using EPG-Buddy to get program guide data one day each week. The memory allocated to TvS increases regardless of the day of the week. As to recording and playback: Again, I would not necessarily expect TvS to return to its initial memory allocation after some recording and playback. But I would expect the usage to stop growing at some point. I cannot say what version of MP I was using when I first noticed the problem. I only noticed the memory usage for TvS while I was keeping tabs on a different memory leak. [/QUOTE]
