[QUOTE="milanp, post: 245237, member: 10284"] I have been testiing and using Mediaportal since its beginning of 2004. Since now I have been using Sagetv as a tv server/client solution and mediaportal as a front end. Sage TV server was working on AMD Sempron 3000 Socket A with 512 MB memory. I have 4 tv tuner cards: 3 x PVR 500 MCE (a total of 6 tuners) + 1 x Skystar 2 I have been testing the versions of TV server for the last couple of months. And I find the TV server software almost perfect. I am experiencing high cpu usage when using TVE3. The new dedicated server is: 1. CPU Intel Pentium D 3.0 GHz on MSI 945 motherboard 2. RAM 2GB 3. 320GB GB 7200,SATA II Hard disk + the TV Tuner cards above. When timeshifting with 4 tuners the CPU averages at 70%. When 6 tuners are busy 4 timeshifting + 2 recording the cpu usage is around 90%. Is this normal ? Tried both windows xp and vista home premium and the performance is almost the same. The server pc runs as a dedicated tv server, the frontend MP is not used I have 5 different client PC's around the house and intend to add 2 extra. What should I upgrade ? Is the single hard drive a bottleneck ? This worked perfectly fine with the SAGE server and CPU usage on the old sempron was never higher than 50%. Any suggestions are welcome ............ [/QUOTE]
