I upgraded to RC3, but now have such problems watching TV,
that I had to downgrade back to RC2, this time with CVS 03-18-2006--10-10. Here I do not have this problem.
My current -downgraded- config that is OK:
Area: Media Portal Program
MediaPortal Version: 0.2.0.0 (2006-03-18)
MediaPortal Skin: BlueTwo RB
Windows Version: Windows XP (SP2)
.NET CLR Version: 2.0.50727
DirectX Version: 4.09.00.0904 (9.0c)
Audio Codec: MPEG/AC3/DTS/LPCM Audio Decoder
Video Codec: NVIDIA Video Decoder
CPU Type: Intel Pentium 4 - 2.66GHz
Memory: 511 MB
Motherboard: 085Ch (Hewlett-Packard)
TV Card Model: Hauppauge 150 MCE
TV Card Type: Hardware
TV Card Driver: -
Video Card Model: Sapphire Radeon 9600 Atlantis (256 MB)
Video Card Driver: -
Video Card Resolution: 1280x1024 / 800x600 secondary screen
Video Render Type: VMR9
Audio Card Model: CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device
Audio Card Driver: -
Synopsis:: -
Copied my RC2 install to a safe place, uninstalled and installed RC3. Reboots etc.
Now I have found that playing TV becomes choppy at irregular intervals.
The image halts for a second and then speeds forward to catch up, sound is equally distorted.
This happens regardless of the MPEG2 decoder in use.
(Side note: my version of the Intervideo codec does not seem to fit the page/window/screen anymore, but I prefer NVidia anyway.)
When I stop the simultaneous recording to harddisk all is fine.
No difference if I run on primary or secondary screen.
(See detailed description for sec.screen my first post:

I did not have any such problems in RC2. So I went back to my saved copy of RC2, added the latest CVS for it, ran Start.bat and now all is fine again. With harddisk recording on.
So something major has changed in this field and in my case for the worse.
As I am really very happy with MP 0.2RC2
I will wait to see if this happens to others too and if it gets resolved.
(Please, if any reader finds any other similar report, would link it to mine, or mine to that. I will do the same if I find any.)
