Live TV or Videos?

Hardware acceleration turned on?

Wired or Wireless connection to TV Server or single seat?

More details and we will try to help.

Live TV. Videos, both SD and HD works perfectly.

Hardware acceleration turned on in ffdshow and PowerDVD options. AFAIK W7 have it turned on automatically. Anywhere else should i turn it on?

Single seat. Connection to the internet is via WiFi, connection to IPTV signal is via LAN.

I have Asrock ION 330.

With Cyberlink codecs (one that comes with PowerDVD 10) image is completely unwatchable. A lot of tearing

With ffdshow there are no tearing, but some frame drops (sometimes it even seems like watching a slideshow).

Windows 7 codecs are the best. No frame drops, but every few seconds image tears for a moment.

Am i doing something wrong, since Cyberlink codecs works so great for everyone else?

Also, what screen resolution?

Have you used DPC latency checker? With mine the wireless driver was causing a lot of drops.

I've got an ION 330 - am using wired network + disabled wireless + SAFv4 - I get a few frame drops when I first tune a channel but after first few seconds I'm dropping less than 0.2% of frames. How many frames are you dropping as a %???

Have you up'd the video RAM to 512MB in the bios??

Does anyone have any experience with these boards and being able to deinterlace 1080i content?

 

[MageMinds]

I've never done deinterlacing, but you need to have a codec that will allow you to do that using hardware acceleration. I'm thinking of CoveAVC that does that and it uses the CUDA processing power of the ION chipset. I don't know if DxVA codecs could do that also. I'm strictly using CoreAVC since I've paid for it, even if I don't have a CUDA card on one of my MP.

I use the microsoft DTV-DVD decoder for live TV 1080i on my main system. According to microsoft, it does support DXVA.

I was thinking of putting together a client for the bedroom and was hoping I could make one of this ION's work.

Is there any way to turn off power light when is in standby, but have it on when computer is on?

I have found option in BIOS, but that completely turns off power light, even when is on.

It's controlled by the BIOS indeed, some BIOS can alter the behaviour of the power led when on standby and some cannot. If yours can't then there is not way you can change that. Using the motherboard header.

One thing you could do is, hook up the power LED to one of the power connector from your PSU... Be sure to use the proper resistor to bring down the voltage into the working range of the led you're using. This way when your computer is ON the LED will glow and when you put the computer on standby the power on the molex of the PSU doesn't get power, so the LED will be off.

Did a definitive HDTV 1080i solution ever get found?
