[mythtv-users] PVR-350 with choppy video

Hello all

I recently built a Mythbox using a Dell GX110 which is an 800mghz machine. 

When using the video out on the built in video card playback looks good, 
but when I use the PVR-350 for playback the video is choppy but the 
overall picture quality is great.

I noticed that the mythfrontend program is taking 90% of the CPU, but 
when I use the onboard video card (i810) it uses 50% of the CPU. 

I followed the directions from http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php to 
do the initial install. 

Not sure where I should start looking to see why using a different video 
source would use so much more CPU for the mythfrontend.  Any pointers 
would be greatly appreciated.
