Thanks for the encouraging feedback! I still plan to start looking for a new motherboard, as my current one prevents me from upgrading my tuner card. I would like to switch to Digital Devices Cine CT, but have no PCI Express slots (other than the x16 slot for the video card). Of course, if the comment about underpowered graphics on...

im on a sempron 2400+ with 512 ram right now and it runs fine. Although I am not using it for tv so I cant comment on that. One thing is, I have a very large music collection and MP is pretty slow when browsing the album art. Not sure if that is the processor or MP tho.
Your setup should be fine tho.

You might be able to set the preferred output to VGA in your BIOS. I believe there's a setting for that on my ATI IGP motherboard, so it's worth a look.

tried to get the remote starting MediaPortal with the mediacenter button

Alright, so using PowerStrip I got the resolution to drop to 640x480 and run interlaced. I am so close to being up and running, right now the picture shows up on the TV but it can't quite lock correctly. I am pretty sure I have a setting slightly messed up in PowerStrip, can anyone offer advice on what front/back porch and sync...

I agree with that comparison very much so... not a lot of bs being thrown around at all. I myself go the discrete route with an HD 4670, they recommend an HD 4650 but I and many others have had issues with it handling advanced postprocessing such as deinterlacing. I am extremely happy so far and with 24p just about fixed in...

I belive ATi cards are (ATM) more power hungry than nVidia, so there are few (noen?) passive ATi cards.
The 7600GS is a good choice, since it supports most PureVideo features:

Hi there
What frame rate do the source videos have?
My personal opinion is that your display (computer screen or TV) refresh rate should always be a multiple of the source content (TV or video) frame rate. In other words, if it were me I would only try and set my TV to 24Hz if the video frame rates are 24fps. My reason for that...

The refresh rate change is apparently a known problem, I encountered it myself on my 50" Panasonic, connected as third monitor. Only on live TV though, video file playback worked well.
Disabling the Dynamic Refresh Rate Control fixed this issue for me. I'm directly connected via HDMI on a Radeon 7870

just replaced an nvidia 8500 with ATI HD 4350 OC. Plays HD MKV's fine as far as I can tell, with DXVA enabled (using MP and SAF 3.47). Not seen what the last issues were though!

If anyone could test if hd mkvs are working again in MediaPortal with Catalyst 9.9 that would be nice.. :]
Hi again
Might have been best to post this in your other thread as the topics are very closely related. ;)
In any case, my first question would be what refresh rate is your TV set operating at, and does it match the refresh rate of your TV content (presumably 50 Hz since you're in Australia) and movies? Also, have you got VSYNC...

Yes, AFAIK - see ATI Radeon HD 4600 & 4800 series support 7.1 channel HDMI audio! - AVS Forum
Note that any DVI-HDMI adaptor must be the ATi version - generic ones won't enable the HDMI audio (you just get the video).

I take it you require a AGP interface card, which are getting rarer.
Why not get a card with TV out, Nvidia many flavours 6200, 7300, 7600GS, these are most probably the highest spec ones, you will be able to get that do not have fans, and use passive cooling.

As far as I know, none of the current Nvidia cards support bitstreaming of HD audio formats (ie TruHD), which is the advantage of the current ATI cards (5xxx). Both cards however can decode to 8 channel LPCM, which is lossless and theoretically the exact same quality. The difference lies in whether the computer decodes or your...

are you watching H.264 or X.264 encoded movies.... it is my understanding (Please correct me and teach me how) that x.264 is not possible to get hardware supported playback. So what you need is not a powerfull GFX, but a powerfull CPU.
If you are playing H.264 there is allot of cards out there that...
