At the moment, the best solution is probably the MCE one This automatically includes the MS fix for more than one tuner. If you use XP, then you have to manually run the DVBFix script to update some DLLs that MS doesn't seem to think XP users need. Vista is meant to have some better gfx quality for displaying videos, but it also...

MP1 MP2 Replace Vista MC? DE
Thanks, Time to give it a go, then. Thanks. The signal and cabling are OK. The problem gets worse the more Vista is having to do. If it records two channels at once or I am recording one and watching another it is much more likely to happen. But enough of VMC, I shall install MP and see how that goes. Can MP pick up and...

You're right about the picture quality, S-Video was better. Working out the audio wasn't so hard, I just needed an RCA to mini cable. The manual I had for my set top box had incorrectly identified the RCA outputs as carrying digital audio. Since that was simply wrong there was no trouble getting the audio going.
