Nice newsbit: Aussies fuming over 'frozen' LG digitals TVs.. digital content making the software in certain digital receivers from LG freeze up. When a digital bitstream (data) can make the decoding software freeze, it means (to me) the decoding software has not enough separation of data and code. Things like table-lookups running out of space can make this happen.
