[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 332954, member: 64243"] That is not normal. Just checked my system with windows task manager: Running Mediaportal using to watch full screen digital cable (SD)TV, Mediaportal uses 84Mb, 10% CPU; TV service 30Mb 5% CPU, Sqlservice now uses 205Mb (which is a lot, but I have 4Gb DDR2 in my HTPC) and 0% CPU. I must say I use PowerDVD8 codecs and hardware accelleration, so all video processing is done on the graphics card. What also might have a positive influence is that I use Vista and EVR. But what your system requires is not OK. What I can advise you is to remove the MPA and MPV codecs and switch over to PowerDVD8 or 7.3, I had many bad experiences with those codecs. If your graphics card supports it, try to use hardware accelleration, however 128Mb for graphics is a little low these days, maybe it helps to lower the resolution. Finally, I would certainly look on the internet for BDA driver for your TV-Stick, in the hardware manager of windows you should be able to find the name of the tuner that is used (chipset), and use that as a start to find a better driver.
