Well, a full exploration would of course be straying too far from the topic but, very briefly, battery life isn't a problem and, as I said above, the problem is intermittent - it doesn't happen on every video, but it's happened at least half a dozen times in the last month or so. In a way, it's probably a good thing, as it means I'm spending less time watching videos and more time getting on with what I'm supposed to be doing. :-) -- Richard Heathfield Email: rjh at cpax dot org dot uk "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line 4 vacant - apply within

We had an old TV in a student flat here in Norway that disliked some films. If there was too much sex or violence in the movie, the TV would make strange fizzing noises, the screen went blank, and then it would restart on the most boring channel available.

I suspect thats a power brown-out as everyone attempts to watch the same filth at once :)
