[QUOTE="ixian, post: 389723, member: 54932"] I'm just writing a little update after my frustrated post of a couple days ago. I've rolled my TV Server PC and both my clients back to the 12-22svn posted here, the only one that has ever worked well for me with the HD-PVR. I kept the latest SVN and related installs on a separate hard drive in my TV server for testing purposes. For whatever reason, I had to reinstall my TV Server OS from scratch (probably codec related) to get it to work. Both my clients I was able to get working by simply doing clean uninstalls of MP, then reinstalling. Second biggest issue for me was setting my STB's output (a Dish ViP 622) to 720p instead of 1080i. This completely eliminated any stuttering or pausing for me. Since the bandwidth used is the same between the two I can only assume this must have something to do with refresh rates, as 720p is 60htz and 1080i 30. I will try tweaking this more later as all my TV's are 1080p which handle 1080i sources better. Channel changing (I am using the blaster built in the HDPVR) is about 4-5 seconds now - slower than my STB, but livable for now. Hopefully this is something that improves in future builds. Anyway after lots of effort and help from this thread I have a more or less stable, working solution - time to start thinking about adding a second HD-PVR in to the mix :). I also have a test drive, so as new SVN's come out I'll at least be able to play around and post logs. [/QUOTE]
