This mythtv project has been a great learning experience, and it's a really neat tool that all my friends love.<br>
Well, that, and the 96" wide projector it's hooked up to.<br>
<br>
I've managed to get my PCHDtv 3000 running using DVB in FC4, with very
few problems. I just manually loaded the cx88-dvb module, and it
popped right up. Being in rural NE US, I did not expect to have
any HD streams available, and no one is doing OTA digital until Aug 06.<br>
<br>
My cable company (Adelphia), is, however, pushing some digital content across the line. That's the good news.<br>
The bad news is, the HD performance of my system is terrible.<br>
<br>
Playing an HD stream (1080i) through myth shows:<br>
processor at 100% (split between Mythfrontend and X)<br>
pink bar covering right side of screen (I know this was discussed earlier, but I haven't looked for it yet)<br>
audio skips, and stutters<br>
video running at horrible framerate 5-10 fps<br>
<br>
I haven't been able to look at 720p streams yet, at least, not that i know of.<br>
<br>
My question is, are there others out there successfully using a
pundit-r to watch HD streams, and if so, what should I be looking at
fixing?<br>
<br>
specs:<br>
Asus pundit-r - integrated ATI Radeon 9100IGP video<br>
P4 2.53GHz (northwood)<br>
512meg PC3200 ram<br>
Seagate 160GB IDE HDD<br>
PCHDtv HD-3000 (using QAM tuning)<br>
Hauppauge PVR-250<br>
<br>
Running FC4<br>
Mythtv 0.18.1 stable<br>
radeon video driver<br>
<br>
thanks!<br>
