Solo 2 hangs when zapping

One of my Solo2 boxes hangs when zapping channels, especially if I zap quickly. After a few Zaps it's dead and screen turns black.

Only way to get it going is a hard restart (power off and on).

Is this a known problem?


Thanks

Update,

I changed back to default skin, then zapped a few channels that went ok, going back to channel 1 it hanged.

This box is currently shared and a second box is running channel 1 as a remote client.

Might this be the problem?
The sharing is over gigabit Ehternet.

I do not know what kind of Share (tuner ??)
but if the emu share, the discussion is not allowed here.

If another type then it is OK.
I do not use any share, and I do not have that problem.

Nothing harmful I think.

When it crashed as described previously the client was running channel 1 and it continued to work there. When changing channel on the client it turned black. Kind of expected as the server had crashed, strange thought that it continued to work as long as I stayed on that channel.

Crashlog is necessary, without it it's impossible to solve.
 
I found a Log-folder in the Var folder with a few files:
log.nmbd
log.smbd
messages
wtmp

Are these the ones you need?

Verify CAREFULLY how your tuenrs are configured.
I use one tuner / box per time who cover my actual needs.
I will test your situation shortly in the next days
 
Doing some more tests I first have found that it will not save any crash logs.

It seems to be related to the HD channels, in my case BBC1 HD, BBC2 HD and ITV1 HD.

The crash can happen in two ways.

The BBC box is always the server in this situation.

First scenario
If I have the client box running the British channels from the server and zapping through the channels when I get to a HD channel in my zapping it hangs.

Second scenario
Same as in above except that I change channels on the server box when I get to a HD-channel it hangs, this is only if the client is running channels from the server box, I have only had the client running BBC1 HD in the tests so far.

I will check the tuner configuration and come back tomorrow with that.

Thanks
