    Hi,

    hard to tell. I have a PVR 350 and a Athlon XP 1700+ and this works quite ok when recording. No problems here when recording and eg. watching movies.

    Sluggish EPG is a problem i also have. I think it is MP related, especially when you have much data (i have two weeks with 30 programs).

    Flip.

    I suffer from similar things, it looks to me like the activity on the database goes nuts when you do that which takes up resources.. thats just what it looks like of course, I cant say for sure.

    I find the EPG generally seems to struggle with alot of disk activity when you change something (add recordings or remove them etc)

    does anyone know if this is being looked at as my wife will not let me use mp full time until, it is as smooth as mce, even though i keep telling her it works a lot better :0)
