Tech Geek: I wish I had a spare 6600GT that I could send you so you could test it with your hardware. I know I had stuttering with SageTV and MediaPortal with almost all Digital OTA stuff until I got one. The troubling thing is that the 9600pro and 9700pro, especially should have been able to meet the 10GB/sec criteria with no problem. I still can't figure out why I couldn't get the 9700pro to work. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...65#post7129165 This guy is having stuttering even with his 6600GT and a Fusion Lite card. Man what a crapshoot this can be!
