[QUOTE="scullen, post: 519834, member: 81954"] Hello people, I was wondering if anybody can help me with my media pc. Last year I purchased and put together all the necessary parts for making a HTPC but for some reason I have never been able to get it fully working. The problem I have is in regards to the TV side of MediaPortal. I can listen to music fine, watch videos and movies fine but whenever it comes to TV I have problems. Basically I think I have tried almost every possible settings combination but I could have missed a few that will save the day but I doubt it. My problem is that everytime I want to watch TV, Freeview HD here in New Zealand, or even record a show, after less than 1 minute the pictures begin to lag really bad and go out of sync and then eventually the whole thing just locks up. I have Powercinema installed so tried using the Cyberlink H.264 codec and even that doesn't work. After reading a few of the forum posts I am starting to think that mybe my graphics card is not up to the task. Anyway I have posted my machine setup below and if anybody can help that would be much appreciated I am using a Hauppage WinTV HVR - 2200 with the following setup Windows Vista Ultimate Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz, 2000 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s) Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 3.00 GB Total Physical Memory 2.75 GB Available Physical Memory 1.93 GB Total Virtual Memory 5.72 GB Available Virtual Memory 4.78 GB Page File Space 3.04 GB Name NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_07E1&SUBSYS_1C3B147B&REV_A2\3&2411E6FE&0&80 Adapter Type GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i, NVIDIA compatible Adapter Description NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i Adapter RAM 256.00 MB (268,435,456 bytes) Installed Drivers nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll Driver Version 7.15.11.7813 Drive C: Description Local Fixed Disk Compressed No File System NTFS Size 293.61 GB (315,262,758,912 bytes) Free Space 260.08 GB (279,255,035,904 bytes) Volume Name Volume Serial Number 00C0AC52 Drive D: Description Local Fixed Disk Compressed No File System NTFS Size 637.90 GB (684,937,973,760 bytes) Free Space 448.37 GB (481,429,716,992 bytes) Volume Name MEDIA Volume Serial Number 1CB5FAD8 Thanks and I hope to hear from somebody who can help!!!!
