[QUOTE="rlevis, post: 709662, member: 81718"] I just think Vista doesn't handle lots of I/O operations very well. The stuttering would occur with pre-recorded TV just as much as live TV. So the TV Server patch is likely making no difference for me, just the tsReader patch. The HDD will pre-read sequential file data not yet asked for into a buffer, which is fairly large on the HDD. This should make reading in small buffer sizes as fast as reading in large buffers, except for the additional RAM and O/S overhead, which is where I think the issue is. I can copy a 1 GB file in around 30 seconds. I just don't see it being the cause. But as I said, I could be wrong. I intend to upgrade to Win7 in a few months and I'll do some tests then. I've already got windows indexing disabled and no active virus scanner. mm1352000, on a completely different subject, would you know why the TV Service uses a substantial amount of CPU while not doing anything. It hovers around 6% but spikes up to 15% while nothing is recording. It's just using enough of the CPU to cause the fan to spin faster and make more noise than I would like. Just wondering what it may be doing. Actually I notice too that it's using a lot of RAM. I set the computer to reboot every morning at 5:30am. After a reboot, and watching a channel, the TV Service is using around 20MB RAM. By the end of the day it's up to 400MB. [/QUOTE]
