I'm going to have to agree, unless someone else is running a Sempron 3100 and able to do live HDTV I'm going to have to think this is the case. I know my Athlon64 3200+ has no room to spare playing live HD, I can easily imagine a Sempron of lower clock speed having more trouble. LiveTV requires a bit more resources from mythbackend and mythfrontend from what I've noticed. -- Steve _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
