Folks,
I have experienced the occasional drop-out while watching programs: the screen goes black and sound disappears for about 1 second. This seems to be much worse when micrond runs. I have been testing a work-around, and it seems to work: start up micrond with a high 'nice' value, like this:
Also, note that micrond should only be run AFTER the clock is set correctly. As you may know, the HD900 is not able to maintain proper time after a cold reboot. Hence, if you run micrond automatically from a /etc/init.d script, and reset your time afterwards, micrond may fail. After a cold reboot you should first set your clock (alas, this still needs to be done using the menus), then you should start micrond.
