Hey @ all
I'm not really shure why and when its doing that but every once in a while .. well actually couple times a day , the tv funktion stops working .. and i can't figure out whats wrong ..
When i boot up my computer and directly go to MePo its all works fine, and I can watch Tv , now i switch to the videos to watch one of my favourite series episodes , still working great , now when i wanna go back to watching tv , it stops working , and only a reboot solves the problem.

that brings it to the point that i can't even change anything in MePo config without havibng to restart ..

for me it kinda looks like it stops working after being idle , so i changed some options for idle mode , changed stuff like preloading the card , but nothing works it still keeps freezing up after i "don't" watch tv for a while .. if i boot it up , go to Tv and stay there it works fine for days , switching channels , recording .. all fine exept 1 problem maybe they are related .. i don't know

2. problem , I go to Tv , start the Tv and the skin gets a bit buggy all the button backgrunds disapear and theres only the gray background color , then i have to go back to main-menu and back in to Tv, to be able to put the Tv to fullscreen ..
thats anoying , but i can accept that for now.. still would be nice if someone came up with a solution ..

So , what do you guys think , weres the problem .. i attached the watchdog zip thingy .. maybe you'll find out :/

Are you using DVB EPG? I get similar symptoms with my system sometimes, and turning off automatic EPG updates fixes it. I thought I'd solved the problem for good by installing a newer driver for my tuner card, but recently it has come back again so I can't suggest a "proper" fix, but try turning off DBV EPG in TVServer Setup and see if that helps. Obviously then you'll have to do manual EPG grabs periodically.

No idea about your second problem.
