[QUOTE="tbert63, post: 31362, member: 17688"] I think your CPU is not faulty. In my mind, the problems should be (by order): 1- you've wrote that you receive clearly only 3-4 channels, others are not watchable. It means that your quality reception could be poor, and it may cause some trouble when you try to record channel since the MPEG-2 bitrate isn't constant. Make a try with an amplified antenna (around 20$) or from a best location. 2- with your tv-card, it seems possible to have 2 channel on the screen (PIP and POP fonctions); it is an high-end card, but it may take too much ressources on your configuration, especially with your poor video card; try to unable these kind of function. 3- it seems that your video card isn't directx9 compliant (a fx5200 or 6200 is DX9), it means that the CPU should not replace the lack of power of your video card for some rendering task (it is a advantage of DX9 to split the job between cpu and graphic unit). Your video card have not hardware acceleration to decode MPEG-2 stream, so it could be a problem to render. 4- your HD should be an IDE model, it take more CPU power than a S-ata model. I hope is it not an USB external model, since it take a little bit more processor power. You have not write how do you render the output to your TV? i think that your integrated video card don't have TV-out? Sorry for my english ! [/QUOTE]
