Post subject:  Mythtv stops why and bad picture quality?

When I am watching live tv mythtv just exits after one hour of watching. I have no idea why thats happening. Is it a configuration problem or my myth box ?
I have got a nvidia 5200. A hauppauge pvr 150...(actually I bought a hauppauge pvr 250 off ebay.. that’s what it said there... but when I was configuring remote while installation of myth frontend I had to select option d which said "d. PVR-150 w/ transmitter and receiver" coz when I choose "b. Grey remote" my remote was not fully mapped... any idea which PVR I have got???) I have installed R5E50.

Also is there a way to increase the quality of the picture. the picture is a little blurry.
the picture quality of the live TV is a little depreciated as compared to what my settop box when connected directly to TV is giving.
Any tweaking I could possibly do? Is it in the capture setting?
In the recording settings of the following
* Default
* Live TV
* Low Quality
* High Quality
I have all of these 4 options setup the highest resolution of I think 720x480.

Is it the pvr-150 card which is bad?

I would greatly appreciate any comment/suggestion/help

Does it stop with this error: "Error Was encountered while displaying video"? This is discussed in this thread. It seems to be a problem that appears for some people.

What bruce_s01 said.

I'd also recommend upgrading to R5F1 since there are more fixes for this issue in the MythTV 0.20-fixes branch between the version used in R5E50 and the one used in R5F1.

I will check for Error Was encountered while displaying video error next time it happens. Some times the box shuts down is that a different overheating case?
Upgrading to R5F1? isint that an older version of knoppmyth?

Very good possibility. Open up the case, clear out all the dust bunnies and see if that helps. Make sure your fans are spinning...

Thanks slowtolearn!
I cleaned the box. But the problem is that only the front end goes down. Then, I have to type
Code:
mythfrontend
to get it back up again.
