[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 388428, member: 64243"] [USER=74666]burken[/USER]. That your recorded TS files also stutter is kinda logic, you just have recorded the stutters as well. :) OK when reception is bad, you should be able to notice when scanning the channels, if the green bars are below 75%, you should do something about the reception or quality of the signal that comes inside your house via the coax cable. This does NOT mean you must replace the TV card, that is the last thing you should look at. first things first. Check the coax cable plugs throughout your house, if there are plastick ones without shielding.. replace them with decent completely shielded metal type plugs (hirschmann is a good brand).. This is the most common source of distortion of the signal, the plastick plugs are open places where microwave, cell phone, wifi etc. radiowave interference is bugging your signal. Check the coax cable itself, if the isolation shows cracks or if it is brittle or if the copper core is broken easily or has a greenish dull surface, replace the complete cable (use the old one to pull the new cable through the pipes.) replace with hirschmann coax. If after this you still have bad signal, install a signal amplifier near the HTPC (just a cheap one, about 15 euro's). I have been strugling for month before I found out that my coax cable and plugs were the culprit of being unable to receive dicovery channel HD, after installing/replacing all of the above, everything was fine. You see if you buy another TV card first, you might discover that you still have a bad signal About codecs, I see you use the ATI codecs... not a good choice. just download PowerDVD 8 (or 9 I heard is out!) trial, and use the codecs of them (cyberlink), I have heard you can keep on using the cyberlink codecs after the trial period has expired (not sure), or just use the MPA and MPV codecs that come wih Mediaportal. I hope this helps! Lots [/QUOTE]
