Ok it's now 9 months since my first post. A few days and reinstalls after my post I gave up and have been using my set top box since. But now I really want to use MP for TV as well (I am still using it for music, photos and movies etc and it works perfectly).


When I read my first post now again I realize I forgot one important thing, the problem is only on interlaced content. In other words when using live TV or watching recorded TV programs. When watching progressive content like DVD or Lost episodes it's just as smooth as when using wmp or any other player.


So it's just the combination MP using VMR9 and interlaced content that is the problem. It's the same with both 576i and 1080i channels and files. I guess it could well be a problem with the Nvidia drivers as some have said above but unfortunately my 7600GT isn't supported in earlier drivers than 84.21. But I can't figure out why it's ONLY MP that is affected, Zoomplayer also uses VMR9 but there it works like a charm.


So before I buy a new graphics card, could someone please confirm that he or she is using a pretty new pci-ex Nvidia card (7600GT or higher) and that it is working with hardware acceleration enabled and the news ticker on Bloomberg for example is running smoothly? And if so please state which drivers you are using.


Thank you very much in advance!
