[QUOTE="Digsy, post: 1249526, member: 163222"] Yes, that's correct. 2-channel analogue audio to a 2.1 amp. Bear in mind this is a bedroom setup using legacy equipment left over from my very first home cinema from 2003 :) I'm starting to think that stutter isn't really the right word for it. Its more that either the client or the server just can't keep up with streaming 50 fps from an HD programme. SD is solid at 50fps whereas HD struggles and sits between 40 and 50. In scenes with a lot of movement I have seen it drop as low as to 30. [B]Have you watched the video I posted? [/B]I would quite like to find out if this is a limitation of my server, my network, or my client, but I will need some help to do this. I promise I will post logs ASAP. FWIW my main screen (HDMI for video / optical audio) was also set to 60Hz with no observable stutter even for HD TV programmes, but of course this isn't using the network to receive the video signal. Well, unfortunately that won't be happening, at least not yet. :) My bedroom HTPC inherits obsolete equipment whenever I upgrade my lounge, and that doesn't happen very often. I can still watch SD channels on my bedroom setup, so if that's a limitation then so be it. I am just trying to get my setup working as well as they can with the hardware I have to hand :) [/QUOTE]
