Thanks for the info. I've got it working now. Works really well in Xine
and only drops frames occasionly. When I watch LiveTV or recorded shows in
Myth they stutter a lot as the CPU maxs out even though it only uses 6->12%
of CPU when recording a scheduled program.
Recording from a DVB-T card like this is a doddle for the CPU. There's
no work to do, except, basically, to put the received data stream in a
file. LiveTV is hardest for it to handle, as it has to record and
playback at the same time (it all gets recorded to the ringbuffer before
being displayed).
Any tips on getting a smoother picture or am I doomed seeing that it's
running on a P3 1Ghz with 392MB RAM?
I am far from an expert, but I was led to believe that a 1GHz cpu would
be sufficient. I am using a 2.2GHz Sempron though (with 512MB ram).
First guess though, could it be your graphics card, and/or it's
setup/drivers?
I have an old TNT2 card in mine at the moment, and it works OK, on
standard definition (720x576), but can't quite handle the higher
definitions. That's OK for me, as I think SD looks good enough. It's
DVD quality anyway!
