MY TV Channels apart from channel 9 work perfectly.

Channel 9 I get stuttering, blur, and just plain crappy, pausing as well. I have tried many different codecs, software and hardware with no positive results.

I have a feeling it may be just the channel 9 reception. Seems to only be a problem with channel 9 HD.
I noticed tonight, it also happens on ONE HD.

Does anyone else have this experience?

I noticed this also, anything that has AC3 audio lag's. Anything with MPEG2 audio is fine. Maybe this is the problem?

Cheers
Chris

Seems I have answered my own question.

It is the Hardware rendering which is causing the stutters, but if I turn the hardware rendering on, and use VMR9 it also stops the stutters.

I found that it is more pointing towards my 7600GS not being able to handle the load. Its just interesting that 7 HD and ABC HD work fine. I do in fact prefer 9 digital over 9 HD, as with 9 digital I can get full surround. Where with 9 AND 10 HD channels, it seems to all be 2/0 sound.
