[QUOTE="logifuse, post: 830368, member: 110442"] Mine (V1) is running well. I'm running 1.2.1 with Avalon & 4TR 1.6.0.1. TV operates via UNC over the LAN & channel change is very quick. I suggest you try the MS DTV-DVD decoder for MPEG2 as it offers hardware acceleration on the ION (MPC doesn't). Fortunately you don't need to worry about HD MPEG2 - our HDTV is MPEG2 & the only reliable decoder is the MS one (because of the hardware decoder). I'd prefer to use LAV, but the ION can't handle the HQ settings. I don't use MP TV Server, but 4TR has problems with MP 1.2.2 - it might be worth looking at the alternative TS Readers in the experimental TS Reader thread. I also had problems with more recent Nvidia drivers. Some live TV channels would struggle to start displaying. I'm now using 261.28 Quadro notebook drivers with a modified inf (so that it will install with my GPU hardware ID) & everything is smooth. These have the DPC Latency PowerMizer Fix registry entry included, which you don't need for the V2, otherwise the Shuttle supplied 257.30 drivers work fine for me. I don't find menu navigation that much slower than my main machine, but with video playing, overlays cause stuttering. As I understand it, that's a limitation of the ION2 being connected to the CPU by PCIe x1. [/QUOTE]
