Hello!

I just want to ask if someone has a solution for following problem: If I activate grabbing EPG in TV Server I have stuttering while watching (non TV) videos, doesn't matter if HD or low quality movies. It seems that the tv server needs for a short time a high CPU load - so it stutters every 10 mins for about 1 sec... It doesn't matter what I change in TV Server Config, it only works when i disable EPG grabbing (idle and while timeshifting). CPU priority settings of MP and TV-Server are normal, but I tried different settings, no solution..

I had this problem since the first time i used MP (about Feb 08), and now, where WEB EPG doesn't work in Germany any more (just for a few channels with tvinfo.de), I need DVB-EPG for EPG data... Can anyone help me?
