[QUOTE="Jetboy, post: 57313, member: 12428"] Most hollywood movies have a wider aspect ratio than 16:9, so you get the black bars on top and bottom of the screen, also known as "letterbox". I used to have this problem on my PVR150-MCE tuner. Since I upgraded RC4 with an SVN from may 21, it has never occured again. The exclusive mode is to prevent tearing in video. I suppose the stuttering you are refering to is tearing. I don't know about the DirectDraw error, though. No, you don't need a widescreen skin. However, if you use a 4:3 skin it will stretch to fit your screen, so graphics and text will be wider than intended. You can set the scroll speed in MP under Settings -> UI calibration. I don't know about the exact time 3 seconds, but it takes some time to change channels while timeshift is enabled. You can check your settings for zap delay in the configuration (I'm at work now so I can't check where it is), but even when that's set to 0 it will take MP some time to stop timeshifting, change channels and start timeshifting again.
