[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 376777, member: 14268"] Hi, I can see where you are coming from, but what you have to understand is two things. First of all, not everything which is reported as a bug actually is. Maybe a user has configuration problems with their machine, or bad device drivers, tv signal, network connection.
