Sorry that this is a little off of the subject of the forum. Ron, I have the same unit (HP m1195c) and it has a freezing problem as well. It had a bad DVD-RW drive at first, I got that replaced and upgraded to 1Gb of Ram but it still freezes a few times every hour. Makes it hard to get any practical use out of all the DVR hardware. There is also a post about one on the MS forums about it, but it doesn't solve the problem. It may be related to the USB components from what I've read on other sites. I have yet to call HP about it though, perhaps they have a solution by now.
