[QUOTE="natrlhy, post: 78780, member: 23624"] Paul, I ran a 15 minute test. When watching an analog channel, the AMD 3800+ Dual Core CPU I have was running at about 5-10%. When recording the analog station, it did not change. When watching an ATSC station with the Vbox 150, the dual core CPU was running around 30-40%. Recording the ATSC station did not increase the CPU load. Another test I ran to see the CPU load was this: [B]Start recording an analog station. CPU at 5-10% still.[/B] [B]Start watching an ATSC station. CPU at 30-40%[/B] While recording the analog station and trying to watch the ATSC station, the ATSC station is practically un-watchable due to choppiness and skipping. Once I stop the recording of the analog station, I can watch the ATSC station just fine. In a nutshell, I can only reliably watch an ATSC channel if I am [B]NOT [/B]recording an analog channel at the same time. I can timeshift and playback the ATSC recording just fine if this is all that I am doing in My TV at the time. P.S. I wasn't too clear in my first post, but the choppy video/playback was also from my ATSC card, NOT my analog card. [/QUOTE]
