It doesn't matter how fast your computer is. At bitrates higher than the current settings, your tv will significantly stutter. If recording at a high quality is important to you, I suggest you stick with TVE 2. Sorry.
Does this mean that analogue users (an therefor STB-users) are "doomed" to use TVE2 if the want good PQ?

So we will never be able to use newer versions of MP, since 0.2.3 is the last one that will include TVE2?
