Look at the Event Viewer to find out why it's happening.
Make sure you have updated TV tuner driver.

If your Gateway has a dual core AMD CPU it is likely that you need the AMD
X2 driver update which was issued in the summer of 2004 to resolve the issue
you are reporting but was not installed by Gateway in systems being shipped
till early 2005. Check the AMD Website for the updated driver.

See if this helps...

While you indicate you have MCE2004, the same info applies.

Your processor (AMD Athlon? 64 3700+ processor)is not a dual core.And
that mentioned update fixes TV glitching on dual core AMD machines.
