Hi all,

I have jsut build a MCE PC and installed it and everything works fine but
when I watch Live / Recorded TV the video intermitenly skips there really is
no pattern to it. It happens on all channels and even on recorded TV.

However if I am watching DVD or DivX or any other video that I didnt record
myself it works fine no skipping.

I have all the latest updates on it including the Rolout 2

and My TV card is Haupage 1500 DVB-T with the latest drivers

and My Graphics card is HIS Excalibur 9250 Radeon 128mb with the latest
Radeon driver from ATI website

I am also using PowerDVD 6 as MPEG decoder

( i have tried WinDVD 5 and WinDVD7 both had the same problem)
( i have installed the Microsoft Hotfix KB896256 that is supposed to sort
this out on a HT CPU - didnt help)

Full PC configuration

Intel P4 Socket 478 3.2 ghz Hyper Threading
GIGABYTE GA-8IG1000MK skt 478 intel 865PE 800 FSB
HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon 9250SE 128MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail
(R9250-TDW128-64bit)
Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1300 Media Centre Edition Freeview TV Tuner
Trust 7.1 sound
2 x 512 Mb Kingston PC3200 DDR RAM
HP DVD-RW drive
200 GB IDE Maxtor HDD
Enligh Media Center Case

Can any one help?

Hi Brano
I don't know nearly as much as you do about computers, but I am having a
similar problem. My live T V signal freezes up in Media Center.
I used to have a WinTV tv tuner in my old computer and it ran just fine with
same cable connection I have now.
I have not been able to find any answers yet in my research. I have
downloaded a couple of updates from Microsoft to no avail.

Good luck
