This makes sense but why does it have to park every 4 or 5 minutes, even if
I don't use it between parks ( if they are parks). This usually happens
when I'm watching TV, which in my case is a VCR running into the 1080 (that
makes a very good TV). As I said parking sounds like a reasonable 
explanation but it would seem that once it is parked it should stay 
parked, unless its' muscles do get lethargic and it needs to get up[ and 
wander around. Still confused alittle.
