VMC and Linksys Extenders - Pixelation Issue John Chapman 05-05-2008

Hello,

I have a Dell XPS420 system with 2 Linksys Media Center extenders, the
DMA2100 and DMA2200. Both extenders connect via Wireless-N (Linksys WRT330N
router) and the PC has a gigabit Intel Pro/1000 network card. The DMA2100
is hooked up to a standard def tv via S-Video and runs 99% of the time
without issue.

The DMA2200 is hooked up to an LCD HDTV via HDMI at 1080p. Almost everyday
after about an hour or so of watching TV (SD or HD), the picture starts
pixelating and many times the unit becomes unresponsive. I am sometimes
able to skip back a bit and get it back on track, but many times I have to
power down the unit and restart it in order to get it to work. It is not in
an enclosed area and is not near anything that is not. Any ideas?

Thanks,

John Chapman

Confirm that it's not a wireless network problem by connecting directly to the
PC with some Ethernet
cable.
