Nein Danke!

No thanks to PowerDVD 9! I think this is the cause of all my HTPC problems - the freezing and non-working of BBC HD... So I uninstalled PDVD9 and re-installed PowerDVD8 and upgraded it to the Ultra edition.

I made a quick test and it can play the (one) Blu-ray movie I have, and I think it might work without AnyDVD as well, as it managed to update itself 'now and again' to obtain the code to play the disc... I will uninstall AnyDVD and test this theory out...

I tuned into BBC HD, after reconfiguring MediaPortal to use the PDVD8 codecs for SD and HD decoding, and this works just fine.

I hope this stops my PC from freezing; this happened again last night after watching a DivX movie, and I had to powercycle - only to get the blue screen freeze again.
