Hi folks,
I am new to MediaPortal. I just built a new computer and decided to put Windows 10 on it. A friend of mine gave me his InfiniTV 4 card to use in this new machine as he upgraded to the 6 a while back. As you know Windows 10 has no WMC capabilities. I knew this going in and I knew that there were some other options out there for this card and os combo... and honestly, I've never been a huge fan of WMC. I had an XP media center about 12 years ago that was meh. It served it's purpose but I never felt like it was as good as it could have been... anyway... onto my issue...
I was able to install MediaPortal and set it up w/ my card in a pretty quick time frame. I found all of the channels and used the DirectSchedule plugin to import the EPG and have had no huge problems thus far. Minor fixable things here and there after some trial and error.
The one thing I'm noticing is my HDTV channels and SD cable channels come in excellent with little to no issues. However, channels that are considered OTA or channels I could pull in w/ the Clear QAM tuner on my TV seem to stutter to the point where it is unwatchable. I wouldn't take issue with this if these were channels I didn't care about but I really want to record from some of the effected channels like MeTV and Antenna TV.
Any suggestions would be extremely welcome and helpful. Thanks!
System Specs:
CPU - i7-4790k
RAM - 8 GB
GPU - EVGA Nvidia GTX 760
120 GB Samsung EVO SSD for OS
WD 1 TB for other stuff... have my recordings and all MediaPortal folders set to this drive.
