Well. Two different problems really. What 3.3 seems to have fixed is the
IDE timeouts (at small window sizes). The loss of vertical lock I still
ocassionaly sometimes (even when connected to my VCR with a video/audio
patch cable (not coax).  

I ALWAYS get the loss of vertical lock when the first time I run fxtv
(after a reboot). The solution to it (for me) is to quite and restart
fxtv.
