You might also consider moving your playback to a 2nd machine. If you remove playback from that existing machine, it should be able to keep up fine with HD recording/etc. In my experience the frontend process is very spikey (as are video drivers), which can wreck havoc with dmas/irqs and getting stable recordings. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
