Ok Guys and Gals
Been given advice by Hauppage forum but still cant get the damn thing to work
Im almost ready to rip the card out and have a bonfire with it

I have installed all the hardware detailed below, done a clean install of MCE, Reinstalled all the drivers i can think of
Run windows update, till it wont update no more
Done the MCE setup and got 19 channels, with audio and video stutter
Tried running Medai Portal and still only get the 19 channels

The web site below says if im tuned to Emily Moor I should get 79 free channels

Does it stutter when displaying analog channels or is it just digital ones?

If it's just on the digital, does the SD resolution content appear to stutter the worst?

That's what I ran into with too slow of a video card.

That motherboard uses the Intel GMA 950. While it may support HDTV resolutions, that doesn't mean it has the required speed to playback HDTV with MediaPortal.

"It has Intel GMA 950 on-board graphics, which is ok for a multimedia PC, but don’t even think of running 3D games on it. This is simply not the idea of this motherboard."

Do to the mode MediaPortal uses I'm *guessing* the chipset is just too slow.
