Re: Hard lockups when viewing Live TV or recorded TV PVR-250 ATI Radeon 7000.
[In reply to]

After trying an ATI Radeon 9250, gatos drivers, ATI's own drivers, etc.
I finally solved the problem: I returned both cards and bought an
nVidia based card. This one:

It was also cheaper and had rebates.
Unfortunately all the time I wasted on the ATI cards is gone.
