    Hi Community

    I had been suffering from Discontinues and droppend frames on my multiseat MP setup
    However DVB signal reception level is always 100.
    I had spent a lot of time on optimizing system to solve it but have no success.
    Then i found very useful application DPC Latency Checker (thx Tourettes for pointing me :D) which shows if you have hardware problems with latency

    It shows me the root of my issues.

    Disabling hardware one by one does not helped. I still have huge latency

    But turning of Gigabyte Dynamic Energy Saver( aka Green PC) did the trick:)

    Now i have now discontinuity, pretty low dropped frames, where flat graphs in "shift-!" debug info and very happy with improved overal quality!

    PS i have 2 Gigaby MBs GA-EG31M-S2 and GA-E7AUM-DS2H which runs on WinXP and Win7 and all has that issue

    For summarizing: Dont use Gigabyte Dynamic Energy Saver if you want smooth and perfect playback.
