![]() I've been experiencing the same problem of stuttering video on my system as well as few other infuriating headaches. Any Ideas? It would seem possible that its due to the timeshifting function, maybe? Is it still possible to turn off timeshifting in MediaCenter? Or of course a real fix would be nice! Cheers, Tom. This system exists only for media (thats why I installed W7 as Vista can't handle HD) so there is nothing else installed to confuse it. This was a clean install with only wifi, tuner card and blu-ray drivers added. I'll turn it on, and its great, and after an uncertain amount of time, maybe ten to twenty minutes, blocking starts to appear in the picture, and this gets worse and worse until it is unviewable, then if I change channel and then change back to it (channel change can take more than 10secs) it tends to work fine for a while again until, sooner this time, the blocking comes back. Which seems to work very well for the SD channels but we receive three channels on terrestrial FTA in HD, and it is on these channels that I get a very similar problem to that described by rbmorse at the start. I'm in France and am receiving FTA digital channels direct with this tuner. The tuner card is an AverTV Due Hybrid PCI-E. And I also have an 8400 proc although with 2gig ram, an ATI 3650 video card, on an Asus P5E-VM HDMI motherboard (not using the onboard video). Hello, I have a very similar problem on my system. I guess the next thing to try is a different CODEC set, but I'm not sure how to do that. HBO (301) and Starz (370) both glitch whether showing film or video. But, video services above 149 (NFL channel at 180, the Game Show Network at 179, etc) do not. Starting at 149 COMCAST offers a second-tier premium service of movie channels (Encore, Premier, RetroPlex, etc.) all of which glitch. I'm beginning to think it's a Comcast, CODEC or PlayReady problem. The installation is as "clean" as I can make it, the only updates, AVG anti-virus (subscription pacakge) and Firefox 3.5.2 are installed. Last night I swapped the HVR-1600 back into the box and performed a fresh Windows 7 installation onto a new, unpartitioned Western Digital Velociraptor hard drive. My supposition was they were the same files, but maybe that's not the case, afterall? Would appreciate any advice on how to mitigate this as I'd really like to use the timer recording/online guide features of Media Center.Īctually, I see the same behavior with both the Windows Update drivers and latest from Hauppauge (both dated from March even though the Update package has a different build number. I've Google'd (and Bing'd) this problem with no conclusive results, but I'm an ignorant git and may have failed to recoginze an obvious solution. I do not see this behavior when watching/recording the same signal source using Hauppauge's WinTV 7 software. Pressing the pause button and immediatly resuming play results in normal operation for a variable amount of time, but shorter than the first interval, before the problem recurrs. Watchng or recording a TV program in Media Center, after some variable amount of ually about 20 minutes.the video and audio degrade with increasing levels of "digital breakup" or stuttering. TV source is the analog S-video feed from a Scientific Atlanta cable TV tuner box fed by Comcast digital cable service. The TV tuner card is a Hauppauge HVR-1800 in PCI-e 1X slot (the same behavior occurs with an HVR-1600 tuner in a PCI slot). The display is an 23 inch Apple Cinema display driven of the video card's DVI port. The video card is a Gigabyte PCI-e 16X card based on the ATI HD4850 chipset. Running 64-bit Windows 7 RTM (from TechNet) on a Gigabyte GA-EP-45-UD3P motherboard with an Intel Core2Duo E8400 and 8GB RAM installed.
