Consider the following scenario:

• You are watching Live TV in Windows Media Center on a Windows Vista-based computer.
• You change the channel to a program that is being broadcast in a high-definition television (HDTV) format.

In this scenario, a green screen is displayed instead of the expected Live TV program.

Consider the following scenario:

• You use Windows Media Center to watch high-definition television (HDTV) on a Windows Vista-based computer.
• You have installed the 932968 hotfix on the computer.
• You do one of the following:
  • You switch the HDTV format between the 1080i format and the 720p format.
  • You open a different DVR-MS file.
  • You change the live TV programming to a different high-definition channel or to a different standard-definition channel.

In this scenario, the TV screen may appear as solid green, or it may appear as blocky pixels. This behavior continues until the next key frame is displayed.
