If you have Vista, the aero feature could be one explanation. I had lots of tearing when I had aero deactivated (in order to save CPU). I have not seen any tearing after I enabled aero.

MP1 MP2 BSOD issue DE
The Microsoft hotfix KB969238 is the only thing which resolved this issue for me. I believe this patch is specifically designed to resolve this issue on XP SP3. At last the system runs without crashing!

I have a stable system - I can't think of when it last crashed. I have a single-seat system at the moment, with the machine on all day running MediaPortal only (i.e. not used as a normal PC). To keep everything running smoothly I have the machine reboot every day at 6am. I also have scheduled tasks to clear out temp...

MP1 MP2 Choice of new GPU DE
No i didn't say that i wanted a 8800, i just mentioned that it's the only gpu with fan that i know. It is WAY TOO noisy for a htpc, hehe. But i think the HIS Radeon HD 5750 iCooler IV 1 GB is a good choice :)

nice components, but a quite expensive solution, you could achieve the same with much cheaper components... e.g. your cpu: 160,- ...for this price i get an amd 785g motherboard ~ 80,- and an AMD Athlon II X2 250 ~ 60,- the 785g chipset would even save you the money for the external grapics-card ...and all of this would have more...

As a test, you can copy a large file (over 10MB) from the server to each client, and from a client to a client and note down the time it takes to copy that same file each time. Using this method you should be able to determine if the problem is related to one specific PC or the entire network. Also, you may need to configure Jumbo...

MP1 MP2 Video passthrough? DE
I agree. As it looks right now, even the 4350 tends to move the deinterlacing slider down towards bob. I really hate SW that thinks it's smarter than me :( I got rid of jerky playback though. I still think a good SW codec would be just fine for me. The proc can handle it no prob, but it seems none of the gfx cards I currently...

If you're talking about the Asrock 780g board it should be fine. If you're experiencing any difficulty then try adjusting your codecs. Most people with this chipset seem very happy with it for HTPC use. Its been extremely popular. I guess if you cant get it to work there's always the discrete card option. Definitely worth spending the...

My advice is whatever onboard you go for, make sure you can upgrade to discrete gfx card if needed. HT3 CPU + 785G might cut the mustard.

I've been using MP for 1,5 years and have always enjoyed it's TV recording and playback capabilities. I really hadn't used it for playing audio CD's, but since my good old stand alone CD player died on me I'm trying to make the switch. In general all is well with autoplay, CDDB lookups and everything. But I do have some copyrighted...

Dear comunity, I'm about to build a TV server. For this i am building (as cheap as possible) server. But i am wondering who CPU intensive servering 3 DVB-S cards are, because the rendering itself is being done at the client side?? i think 2,ghz single core would do this trick?
