[QUOTE="Farhope, post: 495982, member: 61188"] Hi All, At the moment I am running mediaportal TV-SERVER on a dedicated Windows Home Server (MS Server 2003). My dedicated TV-SERVER configuration: AMD64 SEMPRON 2800+ ASUS K8N nforce3 2x Technotrend CI-1501 DVB-C No video card installed Watching SD channels on my Mediaportal CLIENT works fine (TV-SERVER processor is around 70% of load). When I switch to a HD channel the TV-SERVER processor load is jumping up to 100% and results in heavy shuttering on my Mediaportal CLIENT. (not surprising :rolleyes:) So my questions are: [LIST] [*]Do I have to buy a new motherboard/CPU or will installing a video card (with hardware MPEG2/H264 acceleration) resolve the problem on my dedicated TV-SERVER. [*]Will a AMD Athlon II X2 240 (AM3) 2.8GHZ or a Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core E5200 2.5GHZ be enough to stream/record 2x HD channels (2x Technotrend 1501 DVB-C TV cards) on my dedicated TV-SERVER [/LIST] :thx: in advance. UPDATE: just found out what was going wrong. Never put your record directory on WHS share: \\home-server\recorded TV but put it in d:\shares\record TV.
