choppy and the menus scroll slowly around .5 sec and selecting shows in
previously recorded or delete recordings is very slow 2-3 seconds to
respond. I’ve tried it on several machines from a P4 1.7GHz with
1GB RAM to my AMD64 3700 laptop also with 1GB of ram.</span></font></p>

the laptop. The video is ok but the menus are still very slow.</span></font></p>
