<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dylan - buddy ol pal - the reference you provided
was absolutely fabulous! I substituted my el cheapo 300W power supply for an
older Dell 250W that I had laying around. Booted up and viola! XvMC working like
a charm! Smooth clear picture, and the HD channels are fantastic on my
monitor!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think Daniels explanation is perfect - makes
sense that an older PS made for +5V PCI cards (like most HDTV cards, including

- wonder if anyone else has noticed this? I am experiencing the
exact<BR>same behavior in my system. When running the BE and capturing
HD-3000<BR>programming, mythfrontend shows heavy pixelation and crackling
sound (this <BR>is SD and is observced with XvMC, straight XV and also with
libmpeg -<BR>mplayer works fine by itself). If I stop Mythfrontend and go to
another FE<BR>system upstairs, the picture is great! Something strange going
on with my <BR>nvidia card and the HD-3000. Others have had similar
problems:<BR><BR><A

is one final post in the next thread that is the most relevant, so be sure to
hit 'next' at the bottom when you are finished. I've mostly given
up. I switched from a 6200 to a 5200 and that has helped the situation
some (browsing the internet no longer causes distortions in recordings), but
live TV is still unwatchable. <BR clear=all><BR><BR>-- <BR>Dylan<BR><BR>Type
