[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 708876, member: 82144"] Sorry folks, missed some posts for some reason. [USER=81718]rlevis[/USER]: I'm using Catalyst 10.4. Go to the ATI Overdrive section and check the second gauge ("activity") on the right hand side... [USER=83961]gperkinson[/USER]: It is not that the result is terrible, however it isn't great. Are you using the latest drivers for your hardware? The most important things for live TV are your TV card, motherboard chipset/storage controller, and video card... To be honest, I'm not sure that is the issue. I can't remember what we started discussing when you first told me about this issue but I notice now that your system includes mirrored WD HDDs. Are your timeshifting or recording folders on there? Mirroring makes writes to disk slower on average if it is not supported with hardware (I'm guessing you're using the Intel "Matrix" or "RapidStorage" RAID for that). Slow writes lead to TsWriter failing to keep up with the TV stream. In addition, I'm guessing that those 1.5TB drives are "green" (noticed your green drive too rlevis ;)) drives - they have a reputation for being problematic. I absolutely wouldn't recommend them! Panning and generally high-motion scenes are when the bitrate of the video will be the highest, hence they are the most prone to issues like what you describe. All the more reason to try the stuttering patch... [/QUOTE]
