TV - HTPC Connection: HDMI
Having upgraded my htpc I noticed that the time to change channels is VERY slow - slower than the previous htpc. I put this down to the new cards but each with their own tv application change quickly.
The logs are attached and the sequence starts with:
2011-08-07 16:36:27.972009 [(21)]: Controller: find free card for channel Dave
and then shows
2011-08-07 16:36:29.412009 [(21)]: AdvancedCardAllocation.GetAvailableCardsForChannel took 1441 msec
but more or less immediatlythe log shows
2011-08-07 16:36:31.192009 [(21)]: AdvancedCardAllocation.GetAvailableCardsForChannel took 1458 msec
and then
2011-08-07 16:36:33.410009 [(21)]: AdvancedCardAllocation.GetAvailableCardsForChannel took 1552 msec
finally the card is locked on as
2011-08-07 16:36:44.495009 [(21)]: card: Tuner locked: True
around 8 seconds.........
looking back through the logs and saw similar things for dave earlier. For BBC HD (on the other card) its even worse....
2011-08-07 15:20:15.301609 [(25)]: Controller: find free card for channel BBC One HD
and locked on
2011-08-07 15:20:42.232609 [(25)]: card: Tuner locked: True
around 27 seconds. I suspect the card isn't helping as it took 10 seconds but till
Tuning ITV HD is better
2011-08-07 15:14:59.089609 [(24)]: Controller: find free card for channel ITV1 HD
2011-08-07 15:15:22.706609 [(24)]: card: Tuner locked: True
around 22s
Any help much appreciated
cheers
