Well, for example, today my friend was watching an episode of a show I recorded earlier this morning. He fast forwarded to the end of the show to see what it would do and the TV-out went to some funny red pattern, but GBPVR was not frozen and the menu still responded to the remote control. But nothing I did restored the TV-out output from the PVR-350. Eventually, after going back and forth between Live TV, guide, etc, the whole machine locked up...
The box seems to be getting quite warm. I still might work a little harder to cool the entire case. Maybe replace the power supply fan with a different unit. For some reason, the fan sucks in air and blows it right onto the CPU heatsink fan. The only place for air to exhaust is down at the bottom, in the front of case. In other words, backwards from convection. Seems like a dumb design. I would reverse the fan to start.
Overall I'm pretty happy, even with the slow UI. It didn't freeze up more than once today, whereas last night I had to reset it three times before giving up and going to bed. I don't want to give up on it, but in the back of my head, I feel comforted knowing that if I spend the time, I can always revert to MythTV.
