[QUOTE="Sten3ik, post: 972261, member: 133964"] Hello all, I have three dedicated HTPCs running MP. Recently I also started using MP as a TV application. Now, my tv recordings play fine on two of these machines, but on the third there is stuttering all over the place. It seemsed to me like the image wasn't getting properly deinterlaced or something, so I have been fiddling around with different graphics cards and drivers, but to no avail. Now I believe I have found the cause of the problem. The stuttering machine only has a 100Mbps network card onboard, the other two have 1000Mbps cards. If I swap one of the two working machines to a 100Mbps switch instead of my Gigabit switch they exhibit the same stuttering... Surely a Gigabit connection isn't really needed to play a simple tv recording, albeit HD? I can play full bit rate BD rips easily without any problems on the 'stutter machine'.. Does anyone have any experience with this? I could of course go out and buy a separate 1000Mbps network card and a new switch but wanted to know if anyone else is having this same problem before spending any money.. Thanks, Danny [/QUOTE]
