I've noticed that since I moved to RC2 that when I tune to an analog channel that the CPU utilization increases as a function of time (see attached MP1.0 RC2 Analog.gif). I have tried changing to a second analog channel and then to a QAM channel (see attached MP1.0 RC2 Analog2.gif which is a zoom of the latter part of the first gif). After changing to a QAM channel things seem to reset and if I change to an analog channel again the CPU utilization starts all over again at a low level and then climbs. This does not happen on the QAM channels. I thought it might be related to the tuner driver, so I tried the same experiment with Aver MediaCenter. CPU utilization with that program is constant on both QAM and Analog channels. I attempted to isolate the issue by looking at other counters for the TVServer Process and found that I/O write operations and I/O write bytes/sec both show a similar trend to the CPU utilization. I'm happy to run other experiments to try to isolate the issue, but need some ideas on how to isolate further. Any ideas are welcome. This is a single seat setup on under XP Pro SP3. Was doing the same thing under SP2.
