    OK, i'm pretty computer literate and I'm dumbfounded on where to even start to troubleshoot my problem here..

    Here's my setup...DV9723CL HP, AMD TL-60 with 2GB RAM. NVidia 7150M video card running the OEM driver v7.15.11.6743 released 11/07/07. Also tried a couple of video drivers from lv2go.

    I have my laptop plugged into my TV via S-Video Cable.

    I can stream Netflix & Media Center video for hours on end without an issue.
    When I try streaming hulu.com video content which is based on the flash video player, after 15-20 minutes my laptop stops sending a video signal to my TV. When I try switching back to my laptop display, the backlight comes on but no display. The audio continues to play flawlessly this entire time. If I put my system in sleep mode and then return, i get my display back.

    Now, I'm confused because it works perfectly with netflix & media center..just not hulu. I tried turning off hardware acceleration thinking that was causing a problem with overheating or something but that didnt make a sense. I'm trying to play a hulu.com video right now strictly on my laptop display to see what happens...

    Anybody have any ideas? Similar problems? Why is it isolated just to hulu.com?

    *** UPDATE ***

    I streamed about 45 minutes of video from hulu.com directly to my laptop lcd as opposed to the tv and it worked fine. Any ideas why it'd be a problem then when streaming via svideo to my tv?
