I've installed the new gfx card and done some more testing and really can't get this to settle downthe attached logs are on winXP (in my frustration I went back to that to see if it'd help, hoping that xp is easier on my system resources than win7).started MP, kicked off TV2. it was there and 'okay' but grainy looking, and sometimes the audio fell out of synch for a half second or so.changed to tv3. same scenario.changed to tvnz7, and got what appeared to be codec hell. pixelated and negative  pixel blocks all like some cyber nightmare.went back to tv2 and mp hung.. logs attached.other testing I did:notable.. when I even ran the webEPG grabber, my CPU goes to 100%.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" />any interaction with a dvb-t device takes all my resources?but here's some screen grabs of other activities on task mangler.win7. new ati card. 'adaptive' video setting. 1080 resolution (via catalyst software)start on U channel, then off to tv2. hd blows the CPU high again, although sitting between 80% and 100%. sometimes the synch falls away.<img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rocklander/mp/1080i-ati-tvUthentv2-crop.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />tried the same thing but with 720 resolution. similar results<img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rocklander/mp/1080i-ati-tvUthentv2-crop.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />tried changing the catalyst settings to vector adaptive.. it really struggles with that. seems less jittery with just 'adaptive'. no idea what they all mean<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rocklander/mp/vector-adaptive-crop.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />winXP. ATI card. 'adaptive' video setting. 1080i. start on tv2, then to tv3<img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rocklander/mp/1080i-xp-tv2-tv3-crop.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />and the tests I earlier ran on the nvidia 210 card.high def channel.<img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rocklander/mp/cpu-digi-channel-hd-crop.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />non-HD.<img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rocklander/mp/cpu-digi-channel-crop.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />lastly.. even when sitting stable, the graphics are not so clear.I noticed in the ipad advert that the angled lines (cheese slicer styles I guess) are not too sharp.check out the top of the frame (screengrab)<img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rocklander/mp/lines-from-advert.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />so srsly... what the hell am I doing wrong..?
