Probably your LCD TV is not being probed correctly for its maximum 
resolution. 64 Studio does work with normal TFT monitors at both 
1024x768 and 1280x1024.

Thanks for the report, we'll watch out for that. No-one else had 
reported that problem yet, so it might be your router or switch that's a 
bit different.

Hmmm, how long do you have to leave it for a freeze to happen? Is there 
any console output, or is the system totally locked up? Can you ssh into 
it during the freeze?

Cheers!
