Hi,
First, thanks for all the effort that has been brought into MP! I'm really impressed!
I have been using MP for quite a while, I'm not an advance user, but uses MP to watch DVB. This is a program under heavily development, so bugs comes and goes, but there are three things that annoys me, and I have not seen any comments or suggestions about these in the forums. (Apart from the first one, that has been confirmed a long time ago, but it is still present :-().
With the other ones I have tried to find anything unusual in the logs, but nothing has cought my eye so far.
1. MP crashes when resizeing the window in MyTV (this bug has been present since I first started to test MP (this has also been reported before in the forum)
2. When watching TV, the picture every now and then disappears (after 5-20 minutes), and a dialog (No signal) pops up. Normaly the picture is restored after some 10-20 seconds, but sometimes I have to change channels to restore the picture. But when recording this never happens (i.e. the recorded program is 100% ok, no matter how long it is). I have good reception, and using the Pinnacle Media Center works fine (for viewing that is ;-)).
3. When watching TV, sometimes MP freezes totally when opening the dialog to change channel (e.g. in full screen mode and right click the mouse, MP often freezes when clicking on one of the menu options). 50% of the times I have to kill MP through the taskmanager.

Thomas
