[QUOTE="AaronH1234, post: 964639, member: 134415"] I've been using mediaportal for about 5 years and always had issues with Slow Zap. Black Screens intermittantly. Freezing and sometimes jerky TV. I found Firewalls cause this. Comodo and AVG. I did the following 1. Put the the entire media portal folders. Programs and settings folders as exclude from Virus scanning and Defence and mediaportal.exe and the server excluded from Firewall Checking. This took me from 12 sec to 3 Zap and I have had no Black screens or jerky TV since. 2. Put the time shift buffer to 128mb and 5 seconds and put the zap in the overlay to 0 3. put extra memory in the server and put the timeshift buffer to ramdrive. Perfect now after 5 years of intermitant issues and slow changes. The firewall is what I believe is the issue in the actual slow Zaps, not so much the timeshift buffer. With the timeshift on the ramdrive time shifting is faster than HDD when using it to go back or forward in a program. I also found ArcSoft to be the best decoder for stability. I have not been able to use LAV video without stuttering. Nvidia PureVideo and CoreAVC caused the TVServer to freeze intermittantly. I use LAV Audio which is stable and Fddshow as a filter [/QUOTE]
