I am experiencing periodic freezing, sometimes as long as a minute or so. Most of the time it will start playing again on it's own, missing the chunk of time it was frozen.
Thanks, and that sounds positive.Thanks for all of your words of advice. I am still trying to solve the issues. Although with the current setup it is at least not freezing anymore.
Understood.To answer some of your questions, you are correct. I did blow out the OS when transitioning from sage, it had been running for quite awhile and I felt a fresh OS load was the way to go. I did at that point experiment with ESXI. When I started seeing all of the freezes I stopped that experiment and went with a native Win 7 x64 install after a detour with trying WHS2011.
Okay, great.To be honest I am running all of the built in drivers. I will try updating those.
I don't see any signal strength/quality ratings other than "carrier lock" which is true/false. I do recall your quoted dB ratings, which I'd agree seem reasonable. However, I suspect those readings won't show occasional glitches very well. They're better at showing the average level/quality.As far as signal goes I don't have any way of disputing that other than the ceton web page. Screenshot attached. It indicates decent signal if I understand it correctly.
Yep, understood. I was suggesting to install the Ceton software (downloadable from their website) as it might get you firmware updates.Currently the Ceton card is connected directly to it's own Intel gb nic on fixed IP address. There are no drivers or software installed for the ceton card. TV service sees them no problem.
Hopefully it should be fairly self evident once you see the user interface. I've only used DPC latency checker, but I think latencymon is similar. Basically there is a continuous graph of the deferred procedure call latency value. Green (short) is okay; yellow (medium) is maybe dodgy; red (long/tall) is bad => could cause glitches. Any red or yellow bars at the same time as glitches is what you're looking for.I am not familiar with the DPC check, although I have seen some stuff about it. Is there anything specific I should be looking for?
