Well, its the same motherboard that I was using before, however, I bought a
new case (Antec Sonata, very quiet...) and this had a new power supply.
Since then it has worked ok, but I am actually using a SilentMaxx
powersupply (no fans, just a huge slab of aluminium...), and this is a
smaller less regulated power supply as well...

I don't think I have time to fiddle with drivers, but I do think that the
1.0.1 driver might have died on my, and only the latest cvs is rock solid.
Does that figure?

Thanks Juergen!!

Yes, I noticed the rolling lines.  I don't remember having those before, but
they seem to be there constantly now.  I'm using MythTv cvs which now has
pretty reasonable dvb support, and so I'm quite happy with the TV out on my
nvidia card instead.
